Analyze the image shown here depicting six sampling sites in and around the Long Island Sound heading towards the Atlantic Ocean. A marine biologist samples mussels along the six sites in the sound. What hypothesis is most likely supported by the data?
Responses
A Mussels at sample site 6 can tolerate a lower pH.Mussels at sample site 6 can tolerate a lower pH.
B Mussels at sample site 1 can tolerate a higher salinity.Mussels at sample site 1 can tolerate a higher salinity.
C Mussels at sample site 3 can tolerate a higher light level.Mussels at sample site 3 can tolerate a higher light level.
D Mussels at sample site 4 can tolerate the lowest dissolved oxygen levels.
Based on the given image depicting six sampling sites in and around the Long Island Sound heading towards the Atlantic Ocean, it is difficult to determine the hypothesis that is most likely supported by the data without additional information. The image only shows the locations of the sampling sites and does not provide any data on pH, salinity, light level, or dissolved oxygen levels.
Therefore, we cannot determine which hypothesis is most likely supported by the data based solely on the image provided.
