Answer:

C. Researchers should first collect samples of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

eDNA or environmental DNA is a technique that allows us to find DNA from the environment, rather than collecting living organisms. In this case, for analysis of species in a waterway we need to collect water first to later do the laboratory work.
