In a large community science effort, biologist Grace Herzel and colleagues collaborated with hundreds of students and other amateur science enthusiasts for more than three years to study how butterfly color and weather conditions relate to butterfly behavior. They found that butterfly color might influence behavior more than butterfly size does, and that butterflies tended to prefer orange and red flowers on cloudy days and multicolor flowers on partly cloudy days.
Which choice best states the main idea of the text?

B
Weather conditions and butterfly color seem to have less influence on butterfly behavior than the location where the butterflies are studied does.
