Question

the chemical trimethylamine n - oxide not only gives fish their fishy smell but also protects them from crushing hydrostatic pressure in deep waters. trimethylamine n - oxide strengthens the bonds between water molecules in a fishs body. ______ these water molecules maintain their linked structure at extreme depths, thus preventing pressure - related damage. which choice completes the text with the most logical transition? choose 1 answer: a however, b as a result, c for instance,

Explanation:

The first sentence states that trimethylamine N - oxide strengthens water - molecule bonds.

"However" indicates contrast (not present here). "For instance" would introduce an example (not the case).

Answer:

B. As a result,
