Answer 1

The correct answer D. Last year, zoo visitors donated over $1.3 million to protect endangered animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim 1 proposes zoos are positive because these help people to be aware of animals, their situation, and their needs. In this context, to support this claim or prove it is a valid statement, it is necessary to explain how zoos educate people or the positive effects of this. This occurs only in "Last year, zoo visitors donated over $1.3 million to protect endangered animals" because this example shows people learned about the situation of endangered animals by going to zoos and this led to positive action this increased the resources to help endangered animals.
