When using scientific methods to solve a problem, which of the following is a scientist most likely to do after forming a hypothesis?
a) analyze date
b) draw conclusions
c) state a problem
d) perform an experiment

those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive

i believe it's c. the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection.

since eventually smaller beaks would have to find another source of food or even eventually just die out from the lack of food.
