Question 10 • Science 8

Tigers and crocodiles are more closely related than tigers and sharks.

Answer
A
Crocodiles and sharks both live in water.
B
Crocodiles and tigers are both made of cells.
C
Crocodiles and tigers both have four legs.
D
Sharks and tigers are both meat eaters.

Explanation

Tigers and crocodiles are both four-limbed animals, which points to a more recent shared ancestor. Living in water, being made of cells, or eating meat are traits shared by many unrelated animals and do not show as close a relationship. The correct choice is “Crocodiles and tigers both have four legs.”
