Answer 2

C. The catches from both ponds should have about the same number of tagged fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Pond 1, 50 out of 100 fish are tagged. So, 50% of the fish are tagged. In Pond 2, 500 out of 1000 fish are tagged. So, 50% of the fish in this pond are tagged as well. Because you catch 10 fish from each pond, each catch should have about 5 tagged fish.
