While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

• • R. Oleksy, L. Giuggioli, and T.J. McKetterick published a study in 2017.

• • In it, the researchers found that ingestion by bats had a positive effect on the germination of Ficus grevei plant seeds.

• • Jorge E. López and C. Vaughan published a study in 2004.

• • In it, the researchers found that ingestion by bats had a neutral effect on the germination of Senna fruticosa plant seeds.

• • J.M. Palmeirim, D.L. Gorchoy, and S. Stoleson published a study in 1989.

• • In it, the researchers found that ingestion by bats had a negative effect on the germination of Piper friedrichsthalii plant seeds.

The student wants to make a generalization about the germination of seeds ingested by bats. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

• A.

  Seed ingestion by bats can have varying effects on seed germination.

• B.

  Over the years, researchers have studied the effect that seed germination has had on ingestion by bats.

• C.

  As was found in the 2017 study, ingestion by bats has a negative effect on the germination of plant seeds

• D.

  Bat ingestion has consistently been found to have a positive effect on seed germination.
