Answer:

By keeping a thin skeleton, the sand dollar can camouflage itself in the sand.

Explanation:

Sand dollar are very small and peculiar sea urchins. They have very few predators like some fish and starfish, but they manage to get rid of predation with their own bodies, which is very useful for such a small creature. This is because sand dollars have small spines on their bodies, which in addition to allowing them to move forward on the ocean floor with great speed, allows them to hide in the sand, preventing their predators from finding them.

The crrect nswer is C. The pursuit of knowledge

The advisor is giving a speech about how to become a "man of science," and s/he is arguing that in order to become one, one should study every branch of natural philosophy and not just one specialty. Natural philosophy was a term used during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to refer to Natural Sciences before science emerged as an institutionalized and rational method of studying the reality. The advisor also contrasts the concept of "man of science" with "petty experimentalist," which is that that one would become if you do not apply yourself to the study of every branch of science. Here, the speaker is stressing the importance of learning about different fields of study, in order to think out of the box and make connections between different topics that, other way, could not be made. This is the main difference between a man of science, who searches for true knowledge, and petty experimentalists, who just apply themselves to a particular field of study.
