Tiger Beetles are such fast runners that they can capture virtually any nonflying insect.however,when running towards an insect , a tiger beetle will intermittentaly stop and then , a moment alter, resume its attack. Perhaps the bettle cannot maintain their pace and must rest for a moment ;but an alternative hypothesis is that while running , tiger beetles are unable to adequately process the resulting rapidly changing visual information and so quickly go blind and stop.
Which of the following , if discovered in experimernts using artifical prey, would support one and undermine the other hypothesis
A) When a prey insect is moved directly towards a bettle that has been chasing it , the beetle immed stops and runs away without intermittent stopping
B) in pursuing a swerving insect, a beetle alters its course while running and its pause become more frequent as the chase progresses
C)in pursuing a moving insect a beetle usually respons immediately to changes in the insects direction and it pauses equally frequently whether the chase is up or down the incline
D)if, when a beetle pauses, it has not gained on the insect it is pursuing, it gives up
E)the faster a beetle pursues an insect fleeing directly away from it, the more frequently it stops
OA:B
i got the answer correct but my logic ad the logic in the explanation seems to be very different so want to see how other people solve it
