The two correct answers that best support the inference that honeybees—not bumblebees—are responsible for infecting the studied flowers are:

  1. All of the honeybees researchers collected were infected with both viruses.
  2. All the infected flowers researchers picked and tested were close to apiaries.

These points indicate that the honeybees, which were infected, are in proximity to the flowers being studied, suggesting they are responsible for the infection.
