A student is studying how woma pythons, eastern brown snakes, and rough-scaled death adders react to sound. The student knew that many snakes display movement of more than 20 cm in response to sound traveling through the ground, but assumed that snakes do not detect sound traveling through the air until reading a study by Christina Zdenek, Timothy Staples, and their team.
Which finding from Christina Zdenek, Timothy Staples, and their team's study, if true, would most directly challenge the underlined assumption?
Neither eastern brown snakes nor rough-scaled death adders display movement of more than 20 cm in response to airborne sound.
A
Woma pythons have better overall hearing than do rough-scaled death adders.
B
Both woma pythons and eastern brown snakes react only to sounds traveling through the ground.
C
Woma pythons, eastern brown snakes, and rough-scaled death adders display movement of more than 20 cm in response to both ground and airborne sound waves.
D
