While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood.</li> <li>Their nervous system contains roughly 500 million neurons.</li> <li>About two-thirds of those neurons are in their arms, not their brain.</li> <li>Each arm can solve problems and react independently.</li> <li>Octopuses can change color and texture in milliseconds.</li> </ul> The student wants to emphasize the unusual distribution of the octopus nervous system. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- A
Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood.
- Bcheck_circle
Of the octopus's roughly 500 million neurons, about two-thirds reside in its arms rather than its brain, allowing each arm to solve problems independently.
- C
Octopuses can change color and texture in milliseconds.
- D
Octopuses have around 500 million neurons.
Explanation
The goal is the unusual distribution of the nervous system. Choice C names the total, the proportion in arms vs. brain, and the consequence. A and B describe other anatomy, D omits the distribution.
