Question

At the Shadybrook dog kennel, all adult dogs received a new medication to reduce infection risk. Days later, most puppies had elevated temperatures, a known side effect. The owner hypothesized the medication passed via milk caused this. Which supports this best?

• A. \( \text{Some puppies given medication directly avoided temperature rise.} \)
• B. \( \text{Medication is praised by breeders for safety.} \)
• C. \( \text{Four bottle-fed puppies had no temperature rise.} \)
• D. \( \text{Other dog medications also cause temperature rise.} \)
• E. \( \text{Puppy temperature rises rarely harm health.} \)

Hint:

Find evidence connecting milk to the effect.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Hypothesis: Milk transmitted medication caused temperature rise.
Step 2: Need proof linking milk to the effect.
Step 3: (C) shows bottle-fed (no milk) puppies were unaffected, supporting the idea.
Step 4: Other options don’t directly tie milk to the rise.
