Answer: The passage explains the progression of discoveries related to animal navigational systems.
Why: Descriptive passages give concrete details about animal cues and behaviors, while cause-and-effect structure shows how experiments and observed outcomes led researchers from mystery to explanations. Together they trace the sequence of discoveries (what was observed, what was tested, and what conclusions followed).
Why the others are less correct:
- The emotional-bond idea is a narrow claim not supported by description + cause/effect as the main structures.
- Saying animals navigate “as a result of inner tracking systems” is more a single conclusion; it doesn’t capture the author’s use of cause/effect to show how researchers arrived at that conclusion.
