Answer 1

This is the right answer on e2020, What setting is best for producing the most eggs?

Answer 2

c)

Explanation:

The scientist is observing different nests in different settings (parks, zoos and the wild) and recording his measures. In all three scenarios he observes 5 nests and the only variable that changes is the setting (or scenarios).

Therefore, he is most probably trying to see which one of these settings is the best one for producing the most eggs.
