After observing thirty-year-old albatrosses, biologists determined that migration distance in mature albatrosses is directly tied to the lifespan of other fledglings in their brood. Albatrosses that hatched alone or whose fellow fledglings did not survive after their first molting were observed to follow shorter migration paths after thirty years than those that had been accompanied by one or more other fledglings.
If the biologists' determination is accurate, it follows that
A a few albatrosses who molted before maturity are capable of migrating further after thirty years as a result
B the migration distance of thirty-year-old albatrosses is connected to the migration distance of other fledglings
C it is the survival of other fledglings rather than just the birth of those fledglings that more directly affects the migration distance of albatrosses after thirty years
D albatrosses that migrated long distances after their first molting are more likely to migrate long distances after thirty years as well
E the lifespan of other fledglings is more important to albatrosses after their first molting than it is after thirty years
