Researchers claimed they found a relationship between bumblebee infections and how close the bumblebees were to honeybee apiaries. What evidence from the text best supports this analysis? (1 point)

Question

the fact that all the honeybee apiaries researchers tested were infected with both viruses
the fact that there was a difference between the two types of viruses researchers tested
the percentage of flowers that tested positive for viruses and their proximity to apiaries

Answer 1

The evidence that best supports the analysis of a relationship between bumblebee infections and their proximity to honeybee apiaries is:

the percentage of flowers that tested positive for viruses and their proximity to apiaries.

This evidence suggests a direct correlation between the location of apiaries and the infection rates of bumblebees, indicating that closer proximity may be a factor in the infections observed.
