Many scientists have believed that giraffes are solitary creatures preferring to spend their time alone instead of with others. But observations of giraffes and their behavior in recent years has suggested that these animals may be more social than we once thought.For example, scientists Zoe Muller and Stephen Harris claim that giraffes may even help each other care for one another's newborns. Which finding, if true would most directly support Muller and Harris's conclusion? Choose 1 answer: A Giraffes are able to make sounds but are rarely observed communicating with others. B Some female giraffes have been observed sniffing and licking their newborn offspring C Confrontations between a younger and an older male giraffe are frequently observed. D Female giraffes have been observed feeding young giraffes that aren't their direct offspring

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify which of the given options would most directly support the conclusion made by scientists Zoe Muller and Stephen Harris, who claim that giraffes may help each other care for one another's newborns.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />We need to analyze each option and determine which one provides the most direct evidence of giraffes helping each other care for newborns.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option A talks about giraffes making sounds but not communicating with others. This doesn't provide any evidence of giraffes helping each other care for newborns.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option B describes female giraffes sniffing and licking their newborn offspring. This is a natural behavior of giraffes and doesn't provide evidence of giraffes helping each other care for newborns.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option C talks about confrontations between younger and older male giraffes. This doesn't provide any evidence of giraffes helping each other care for newborns.<br /><br />## Step 6<br />Option D describes female giraffes feeding young giraffes that aren't their direct offspring. This provides direct evidence of giraffes helping each other care for newborns, which supports the conclusion made by Muller and Harris.
