Reported Annual Travel Distances in Four Studies of Migrating Animal Populations

Species	Continent	Distance (km)	Measurement method
Mule deer	North America	772	RTD
Caribou	North America	3,807	GPS
Gray wolf	North America	2,155	GPS
White-eared kob	Africa	400	RTD

Some studies of migrating animals measure how far the animals travel in a year by fitting individuals with GPS tracking collars. Other studies track annual round-trip distance (RTD), which is equal to double the distance separating the two habitats a population migrates between each year. A researcher argues that since GPS records all of an animal’s movements, using the GPS method to track a population would result in significantly higher recorded travel distances than using the RTD method would. For example, it’s very likely that the distance reported for the __________

Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the example?

caribou would be greater than 2,155 kilometers if the RTD method had been used.

caribou would be less than 3,807 kilometers if the RTD method had been used.

white-eared kob would be less than 400 kilometers if the GPS method had been used.

white-eared kob would be greater than 3,807 kilometers if the GPS method had been used.
