58.

Two students are reading an article about the evidence of the endosymbiotic theory. As they are reading, they have drawn images of what they believe to be occurring on index cards. The two students are engaging in a discussion on how the index cards should be ordered to accurately show the evolution of eukaryotic cells.


Student A claims the order should be B, E, D, A, C. Their reasoning is that since the small circles without lines in the index cards represent chloroplasts, photosynthesizing organisms evolved before aerobic organisms.

Student B claims the order should be B, A, C, E, D. Their reasoning is that since the small ovals with lines in the index cards represent mitochondria, respiratory organisms evolved before photosynthesizing organisms


Use the diagram to answer the question. Which statement below is accurate about the discussion above?

a)

student A has a correct ordering of index cards but incorrect reasoning.

b)

student B has a correct ordering of index cards and correct reasoning.

c)

Student A has a correct ordering of index cards and correct reasoning.

d)

Student B has a correct ordering of index cards but incorrect reasoning.
