Question

Barbara is a research scientist at an organic pest control company. Part of her job is to find foods that ants will eat so the foods can be used in ant baits. Over the last month, Barbara performed an investigation in her lab involving 100 ant mounds. She began by placing equal amounts of corn meal and maple syrun on opposite sides of each mound. Each morning, she measured how much of each food the ants had taken. She then replaced the foods with fresh samples, and repeated the process every day. Which of the following questions was Barbara most likely investigating? OA. How long does it take to go through a month's supply of corn meal? OB. Which food will produce more new ants—corn meal or maple syrup? OC. How long does it take to go through a month's supply of maple syrup? OD. Which food will ants consume more of-corn meal or maple syrup?​

Answer 1

Answer:

D, which food will ants consume more of-corn meal or maple syrup?

Explanation:

This makes the most sense because she's trying to create better ant baits and has no use for finding out how long it takes the ants to eat them. She's searching for the food that attracts them the most.
