Which of the following best completes the passage below?

Monarch butterflies, whose average life span is nine months, migrate from the midwestern United States to selected forests outside Mexico City. It takes at least three generations of monarchs to make the journey, so the great-great-grandchildren who finally arrive in the Mexican forests have never been there before. Yet they return to the same trees their forebears left. Scientists theorize that monarchs, like homing pigeons, map their routes according to the earth’s electromagnetic fields. As a first step in testing this theory, lepidopterists plan to install a low-voltage transmitter inside one grove of “butterfly trees” in the Mexican forests. If the butterflies are either especially attracted to the grove with the transmitter or especially repelled by it, lepidopterists will have evidence that______

(A) monarch butterflies have brains, however minuscule
(B) monarch butterflies are sensitive to electricity
(C) low-voltage electricity can affect butterflies, whether positively or adversely
(D) monarchs map their routes according to the earth’s electromagnetic fields
(E) monarchs communicate in intergenerationally via electromagnetic fields

C for me

D looks like a trap to me

EDIT: I just noticed this. "As a first step in testing this theory, lepidopterists plan to install...." Since installing the low-voltage transmitter is only the first step in the analysis, D is wrong for sure.

IMO C as in passage its not mentioned that low voltage gen will cause elctromagnetic waves and this you cannot prove it...only you can say for sure that low volt electcity will affect butterflies...

What is OA?

OA is B.



I chose D.


a theory is mentioned, an experiment is conducted , logically the sentence should finish with approving or disapproving the theory (or in some cases inconclusive) . Inconclusive and disapproval are not options. So I chose approval which is D.

how can it be B? i chose C.

i'm not an engineer so how the hell am I supposed to know if low-voltage transmitters trasmit electricity as a whole and not low-voltage electricity.

i just found this - C is wrong for a good reason, it doesn't mention monarch
