As a result of having nostrils, called nares, conntected to olfactory bulbs that go back to the brain, sharks are capable of smelling even a few molecules of blood in water.

Because they have

if you have two answer choices that are correct, select the one that is more direct and concise.

"Because they have.." is more direct and less wordy and hence the correct answer

@ readsid, none taken. I don't profess to know it all and was just trying to pitch in with what I am aware of. Maybe you could help us out with more info on the question e.g. source, other answer choices.

"As a result of" is awkward and generally avoided in gmat. "Because they have" is much more straightforward and concise. Remember the gmat prefers brevity. If you dont find anything wrong with a sentence choose the one which is more concise.
