The correct statement is: Both ladybugs and humans expend energy and time to care for their offspring.
The correct answer is:
Both ladybugs and humans expend energy and time to care for their offspring.
To arrive at this answer, we must compare the statements and determine which one accurately describes the behavior of ladybugs and humans in terms of caring for their offspring.
Statement 1: Both ladybugs and humans expend energy and time to care for their offspring.
Statement 2: Ladybugs have only a few offspring, while humans have many.
Statement 3: Humans expend energy and time to care for offspring, while ladybugs do not.
Statement 4: Both ladybugs and humans have only a few offspring.
Here is the explanation for why the other statements are not true:
- Statement 2 is incorrect because it states that ladybugs have only a few offspring, while humans have many. However, this is not a universal truth as the number of offspring can vary among ladybugs and humans. Therefore, we cannot conclude this statement as true.
- Statement 3 is incorrect because it claims that humans expend energy and time to care for their offspring, while ladybugs do not. This statement is not accurate as ladybugs also exhibit parental care by expending energy and time to protect and provide for their offspring.
- Statement 4 is incorrect because it states that both ladybugs and humans have only a few offspring. Similar to statement 2, this is not universally true as the number of offspring can vary among ladybugs and humans.
Therefore, the correct statement is the one that accurately describes the behavior of both ladybugs and humans in relation to caring for their offspring, which is statement 1.
