The correct answer is <span>C. You cannot view live specimens because the necessary preparation kills cells. </span>
The answer is pretty self-explanatory. Unlike it, regular microscopes can view living creatures such as bacteria or similar.
We reject the options a) and b) since the question says that the data supports "equally" both cases - so we have no basis for making a choice either way.
Further, in science the decisions are reached based on facts, not voting, so we also reject the answer D .
We are left with the answer C and this is also the best practice in science - when unsure, leave it as a hypothesis.
When there isn't enough room in the cell for two complete molecules of DNA, the prokaryote stops replication and undergoes cell division.
