which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the text?
choose 1 answer:
a sheep milk
b buffalo milk
c goat milk
d camel milk

Explanation:

To determine the milk similar to cow milk (fat: 3.6 g/100ml, protein: 3.3 g/100ml) in composition, we compare the fat and protein values:

• Sheep milk: Fat = 6.5, Protein = 5.5 (much higher than cow’s).
• Buffalo milk: Fat = 6.9, Protein = 3.8 (fat much higher).
• Goat milk: Fat = 4.5, Protein = 3.6 (fat higher than cow’s).
• Camel milk: Fat = 3.5, Protein = 3.5 (both values closest to cow’s 3.6 and 3.3).

Answer:

D. camel milk
