Question

honeybees play a crucial role in pollination, supporting both wild ecosystems and human agricultural systems. ______ their activities affect 70% of the top human food crops, which supply about 90% of the worlds nutrition. hence, their decline could have catastrophic consequences on global food security.
which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
choose 1 answer:
a however,
b therefore,
c in fact,
d meanwhile,

Explanation:

The first sentence states that honeybees are crucial. The second sentence gives a specific fact (their activities affect 70% of top food crops) that supports the first statement. "In fact" is used to introduce a fact that emphasizes or supports a previous statement. "However" (A) shows contrast, which is not the case here. "Therefore" (B) implies a conclusion, but the second sentence is more of a supporting detail. "Meanwhile" (D) suggests something happening at the same time, which is not relevant.

Answer:

C. In fact,
