Answer:

The answer is A - Tending to eggs takes more time than mating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Female sea turtles spend a large amount of time tending to their eggs (ie burying eggs and creating nests).

it would be most likely A.

since female sea turtles usually tend to use up mid may to almost august they usually visit more than once since they lay 150+ eggs.
