Explanation:
The last two sentences use the conjunction while meaning <em>whereas</em>, i.e. indicating a contrast. So the purpose of sentences 3 and 4 is to contrast certain things about environmental scientists and chemists. However, the fourth sentence contrasts only <u>level of education</u> required for these jobs.
The third sentence refers to <u>actual</u> <u>work</u> that environmental scientists and chemists do. Therefore, this sentence most accurately describes a way in which the jobs of environmental scientists and chemists contrast.
