Correct choices:
- What are the major threats to the world's whale population today?
- Which types of whales are likely to become extinct in the next century?
Why: Both are open-ended, researchable, and focused enough to support evidence-based analysis. The other options are either simple factual questions with a single answer (When was whaling outlawed? How many types of whales?) or too broad/anthropological without a clear, manageable scope (why whales are important to creation myths), which could be strong only if narrowed.
