Animal observation and investigations usually begin with

A. handling the animal.
B. a guiding question.
C. feeding the animal.
D. an outline of animal behavior.

my answer is d.

Who is doing these observations and investigations?

Small children?
High school kids?
Grad students?
Professional biologists?

It dose not says

Good question, Ms. Sue! For grad students or professional biologists, B is the correct answer. There must be a thesis or guiding question before answers can be outlined.

This appears to be another faulty question pushed on to unsuspecting students by for-profit-"schools."

Either that or the student has taken this question out of context.

You may be right, Ms. Sue.

I took the exam and the answer was correct. Thanks,Ms Sue and Reed

I disagree.
