My doubt is daily movements, foraging habits, are charactesitcs that can be grouped together whereas nesting sites is not so .. it is about a place where they nest rather than somekind of habits .. parallelis cud have been used here if we are talking about nesting habits rather than nesting sites ....


Could you please explain

(c) is apt.

Plugging in option (c) makes the sentence -

The study undertaken by Department of the Interior will involve examination and tagging of the California condor in order to obtain information about its daily movements, (about its) foraging habits, and (about its) nesting sites.

the daily movements, foraging habits and nesting sites - these are all the information that the study undertaken by the Department will involve itself in.

Hope it helps, thanks.
