I believe this is the answer you are looking for:
<span>C. The size and shape of their beaks</span>
<span>1. a magazine article exaggerating the publics extreme reaction to a celebrity
2. a funny political cartoon exposing the flaws in a new government policy
3. an ironic short story that draws attention to how unmotivated people can be</span>
The best answer in this case is C, "the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment".
Distributing the computing load across the global community by sharing processing power is a creative response to tackle the challenge in simulating protein folding for the experiment. This does not change or reduce the scientific merits of the experiment, so we can discount the first two answers (a & b). Answer d talks about well established scientific techniques, although the question wasn't really centered around the specific techniques, so it's not as relevant an answer as C.
Pardon? I don’t understand the question
