A scientist was tracking the diving patterns of whales. A whale was at a depth of 3 meters below sea level and then dove an amount of ten meters twice before ascending four meters. The scientist noted that the whale’s current depth in relation to sea level was -16 m. What error did the scientist make?

B The scientist did not include the whale’s starting depth. The correct answer is -19 m.
C The scientist needed to add all the amounts together. The correct answer is -27 m.
D The scientist did not make an error. The correct answer is -16 m.
