jamal's neighbor tells him that there are more bacterial cells than human cells in his body. which of these is the best reason that jamal should question his neighbors statement?

a. jamal is older than his neighbor
b. jamal does not like his neighbor very much.
c. his neighbor's mother does research in chemistry
d. his neighbor does not know very much about biology

My answer:
either A or C

The best reason that Jamal should question his neighbor's statement is option D - his neighbor does not know very much about biology.

To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the subject matter involved, which in this case is biology. Since Jamal's neighbor does not have sufficient knowledge in biology, it is reasonable for Jamal to question the accuracy of their statement. Biology is a scientific discipline that deals with the study of living organisms, including human cells and bacterial cells. Therefore, someone who lacks knowledge in biology may not have accurate information about the relative quantities of bacterial and human cells in the body.

Option A, which states that Jamal is older than his neighbor, is unrelated to the veracity of the statement, while option C, indicating that his neighbor's mother does research in chemistry, does not provide any direct information about the neighbor's knowledge of biology. Therefore, option D remains the best reason to question the neighbor's statement.
