Question

wildlife researcher dana l. karelus and her colleagues tracked the movements of female and male adult mountain lions over three seasons: the cold-dry season, the hot-dry season, and the monsoon season. they found that the least amount of travel per day occurred in ______ which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the statement? choose 1 answer: a the cold-dry season for females and the hot-dry season for males. b the cold-dry season for both females and males. c the monsoon season for both females and males. d the hot-dry season for females and the monsoon season for males.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the travel data (implied from the context, likely a table with female and male mountain lion daily travel per season). We check which season has the least travel for both genders. Option B states the cold - dry season for both females and males. If the data shows that in the cold - dry season, both female and male mountain lions had the lowest daily travel among the three seasons, then B is correct. Other options either mix seasons for different genders (A, D) or suggest a season (monsoon in C) that is not the least for both.

Answer:

B. the cold - dry season for both females and males.
