Basically you can answer the question if you know the meaning of 32P and of 35S.

32P means Phosporus-32 (32 is the mass) and 35S means the Sulfur isotope with mass of 35 (it's the most radioactive of all the sulfur isotopes btw).

So we can see that the names have to do with Sulfur and Phosphorus - therefore, the best answer is the following one:

C.

DNA molecules consist of phosphorus, while proteins contain sulfur.
These properties resulted in phosphorus being used to mark DNA and sulfur being used to mark proteins.

OleMash [197]
The research party began by exploring the embryonic development of whales' cousins, the dolphins. These creatures are intriguing because, for a brief time during development, they sprout hind limbs . That's why dolphins lose their 'legs'.” In whales, however, the story is more complex.

After the worms have finished eating their food, the students must now weigh the worms and record this data. They can then compare these new weights to the starting weights of the worms and see if it demonstrates their hypothesis. Hope this helped :)
