Why does the duck's body look this way?
(1 point)
because the pond is a different material than the air, and sunlight gets refracted as it travels in and out of the water
because the atmosphere absorbs the sunlight making it reach the duck's body underwater slower than the rest of the duck
because the lower portion of the pond scatters the light, making the duck's body underwater appear different than the rest of the duck
because the duck reflects the light toward its abdomen, so it looks different than the rest of the duck

None of the given options provide an accurate explanation for why a duck's body looks a certain way. The appearance of a duck's body is primarily determined by its physical traits and adaptations, such as the shape and color of its feathers, which serve different purposes such as camouflage and waterproofing. Factors like the refraction and scattering of light underwater do not significantly impact the overall appearance of a duck's body.
