C) Animals are used in a Species Survival Plan are sometimes taken out of the public viewing areas for a private, less stressful, area to breed and care for their offspring in the first critical weeks D) Animals were used in a Species Survival Plan are sometimes taken out of the public viewing areas for a private, less stressful, area to breed and care for their offspring in the first critical weeks

Answer 1

B) Animals used in a Species Survival Plan are sometimes taken out of the public viewing areas for a private, less stressful area to breed and care for their offspring in the first critical weeks.

B is the best option of the ones we can see. You didn't include the sentence as is so I don't know if A is better. I do know for a fact that options C and D are grammatically incorrect. The difference in the sentences is really the use of the adjective phrase (used in a Species Survival Plan). This phrase clarifies which animals are moved out of viewing areas.
