Answer:

B: I saw it an hour ago and I didn't want to answer because there are too many ifs. I tried, but it could be wrong.

Explanation:

This is not as simple as it sounds and I have a feeling that the correct answer is in the head of the person designing the question. In other words, I could easily get it wrong.

It depends on whether the tide is going in or going out to start with. The question would be a whole lot easier if the bottle was dropped miles from shore.

A: The bottle is capped. A is certainly not true. The low density of the bottle will keep it afloat until something happens that determines it's permanent direction. Not A.

B: It will if nothing else influences it. There will always be waves around that will insure an up and down movement. This is a possible answer, but not a certain one. A five year old could not throw it very far to start with. Let's read the rest.

C: Maybe. It has happened. The bottle needs a good start and the tide going out to happen.  Let's read the last 2.

D: Not in a million. Not D.

E: It won't be still. The ocean is always moving. Not E.

I'm going to pick B, but it is not a slam dunk.

MAXImum [283]
A recessive trait inheritance could be more prevalent in a population than the dominant because mutation could occur because the mating does not have a wide variation causing a lethal gene or an autosomal sex link to be easily passed on the offspring

A kind of variable that a researcher purposely changes in an investigation is...
loris [4]
The variable that researchers manipulate is the independent variable.

The reason for this is because in experiments different manipulations are often introduced. The sole purpose of these manipulations is to see whether they will affect our independent variable and if they will change its value.
