Which selection from the article provides the STRONGEST evidence to support the author's central claim that zoos fail to provide animals with the resources and habitats they need? (A) According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), a nonprofit organization that fights for animal rights, only 18 percent of animals in United States zoos are actually endangered. Zoos spend tons of money on building enclosures for these animals while doing little to nothing to restore habitats or stop poaching in wild environments.
(B) According to the opinion article "All the Reasons Why Zoos Should Be Banned," published by Vice in 2015, polar bears in captivity have up to 18,000 times less space in zoos than they do in the wild. Animals cannot live full, healthy lives in captivity. Seventy-five percent of elephants kept in zoos are overweight, and 40 percent of lion cubs pass away before their full life span potential.
(C) The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) has reported that around 3,000 to 5,000 animals are killed each year in zoos in Europe. Many more animals show signs of zoochosis, a psychological disorder observed in zoo animals that leads to pacing, bar biting and obsessive behavior.
(D) Rather than scrambling for resources that will never prove adequate to the animals in their care, zoos should instead make an effort to reintroduce the animals into natural habitats where they can thrive on their own.
