the percentage of bumblebees infected base on their proximity to apiaries

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

Answer 1

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

the percentage of bumblebees infected based on their proximity to apiaries.

This response directly addresses the correlation being examined by the researchers, linking bumblebee infection rates to their distance from honeybee apiaries.
