The correct statement about the student's research question, "What type of leaves do koalas eat?" is:

This research is too narrow for a five-page essay.

The question is quite specific and may not provide enough content to fill five pages. A broader question, focusing on various aspects of koalas' diets, their habitat, or the ecological role of eucalyptus leaves could be more appropriate for an essay of that length.
