What does the conflicting information about the effects of the oil on blue crab larvae reveal about the author point of view
lisov135 [29]

It suggests that the author feels that the scientists have not devoted much attention to the effects of the oil on the blue crab larvae.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientists have found oil in crab larvae all across the Gulf coast, which indicates the crude has begun working its way into the food web. In some areas, 100% of the larvae contained oil droplets. This means that the crab population in the Gulf could be in serious danger.

But the tension and the problem that is worrying the author is that the scientists even besides knowing the ill effects of the oil on the blue crab larvae are not doing much in this matter.
