While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>The deep-sea anglerfish lives in waters as deep as 2,000 m.</li> <li>It uses a bioluminescent lure on its head to attract prey.</li> <li>In some species, the male is a small fraction of the female's size.</li> <li>The male permanently fuses to the female and shares her bloodstream.</li> <li>This behavior, called sexual parasitism, is a rare reproductive strategy.</li> </ul> The student wants to emphasize the unusual reproductive strategy of certain anglerfish species. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- A
It uses a bioluminescent lure to attract prey.
- Bcheck_circle
In some anglerfish species, the much smaller male permanently fuses to the female's body and shares her bloodstream, a rare strategy known as sexual parasitism.
- C
The deep-sea anglerfish lives in waters as deep as 2,000 m.
- D
Anglerfish use bioluminescence.
Explanation
The goal is the unusual reproduction. Choice C explicitly names the size difference, the fusion, the shared bloodstream, and the term. The others address habitat or feeding.
