<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The star is travelling away from the earth.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>A star’s temperature largely determines its color. </em>Stars with higher temperature have a bluish color and stars with low temperature appear red in color.  But the color of star that we observe from the earth is different from its actual color.

<em>This variation in color is due to Doppler effect. </em>When the movement of  a star is towards the earth the frequency shifts to the higher frequency region and when the movement is away from the earth the frequency of the light emitted will shift to the lower frequency region. <em>Color of light depends on the frequency. </em>

The color corresponding to the <em>lower frequency region</em> is red and color corresponding to <em>high frequency region</em> is blue. <em>So when the star moves away from the earth it appears red in color.</em>

Answer:

Option D, create suspense

Explanation:

In the beginning of the statement, the speaker has not mentioned the name of the natures best natural beg. He first described its extinguishing characteristics and then revealed its name “Chiroptera” and the problem “endangered species even being the best bug controller”  

A quotation is the direct representation of someone else’s statement, which is not the case here. Hence option A is not correct. It is also not a story with a plot.

Option C is also incorrect as personal reference based statement describes some personal happening, event or incident.

Hence, option D is correct

spores

Explanation:

<em>A typical fungi thallus includes many filamentous hypha that combine to form mycelium that grows underground, and produce a fruiting body reproductive structure that produce spores that disperse on the wind to new habitat.</em>

Fungi body are generally made up of hypha, a network of which forms the mycelium. The mycelium grows underground within the substrate and occasionally bring out fruiting bodies which bear the sporangium containing the spores. The spores act as agent of dispersal and are used to form new organisms when the conditions are right.
