An entomologist, a scientist who studies insects, thinks of a possible explanation for the behavior of an insect. answer is A. C. D

A. A marine biologist measures the lengths of the dorsal fins of a number of tiger shark: In this case, the biologist needs to sample the sharks, make measurements and organize in tables the data obtained from the two variables measured in each of the analyzed individuals.
