Answer 1

The best evidence from the text that supports the analysis that human actions are related to bumblebee decline is "the study that shows viruses may be spilling over from commercial hives to wild bees."

This response directly links human activities, such as the management of commercial hives, to the health of wild bee populations and suggests that commercial beekeeping practices could negatively impact wild bees by introducing pathogens. This connection demonstrates how human actions are contributing to the decline of bumblebee populations, supporting the overall analysis.
