Answer:
Because earthworms do not like soil that is too acid, alkaline, dry, wet, hot or cold, their presence is a good indicator of soil conditions suitable for plant growth. Earthworms do not like acid soils with pH (CaCl2) less than 4.5. The addition of lime raises pH and also adds calcium.
The pair of magnets and a pair of water molecules are most likely similar. It is because the pair of magnets connects positive to negative and negative to positive, which is also similar to water molecules where they also connect to positive to negative.
The hypothesis devised in this study by the researcher is –
" White fly nymphs escape predation because of their translucent bodies."
In order to test this hypothesis, the researcher is required to conduct an experiment where two sets of white fly nymphs are formed and fed to their predators. The two set of subjects would be -
Set I – White fly nymphs with translucent bodies
Set II- White fly nymphs with translucent bodies coated with harmless dyes.
The number of predated flies in each set can be compared to deduce justification for assumed hypothesis.
Hence, option B is correct
