Every evening for a month, she places half a carrot, half a leaf of lettuce, and a short stalk of celery in the rabbit's food dish. She then records which item the rabbit eats first.

Answer 1

According to the chart concluded by Charity's observation, her rabbit prefers lettuce over celery and carrots and majority of rabbit species follows the same.

Answer: Statement A

Explanation:

As per the biological observations, it's is proven that leafy vegetables such as lettuce is worth for rabbits health as compared to carrots being involved in their daily diets as it contains sugar. According to the observations that Charity has gone through a month for her pet rabbit, it seems that her rabbit is most likely preferring lettuce over carrots and celery.

Talking about celery, it's not among the leafy kinds of rabbit's diet and should only worth of only 15% of space in daily diet. Although rabbits often eat celery, but most of the species primarily rely on lettuce and parsley which seems the case with Charity's pet. Hence, the statement A is likely to be the best answer according to the observations that the rabbit prefers lettuce over carrot and celery.
