The correct answer is B. No, it is too narrow

Step-by-step explanation:

In writing, a topic is considered too narrow in the case it requires only a few details and information. On the other hand, a topic that is too broad requires multiple details to be completely explained. In the case of "how a cheetah eats its food" this topic can be completely explained using just a few details because there are just a few ways a cheetah can eat food. This implies this topic is too narrow, especially in the case of a four to six-page research paper, because this type of paper requires a topic that is mainly broad or provides multiple ideas and aspects that can be explained. The topic, Therefore, the topic presented is not suitable because it is too narrow.
