Question

the recovery program led by marisel lópez - flores has dramatically increased the population size of the endangered amazonian vitella, the endemic parrot of puerto rico. given that a vireo corresponds in physiology, behavior, and ecology to endangered amazonian species elsewhere in the caribbean, the conservation approach developed by lópez - flores may be ____ across the genus.
a. redeemable
b. observable
c. replicable
d. comprehensible

Explanation:

The context suggests that because of similarities in physiology, behavior, and ecology among species in the genus, the conservation approach developed could be used again or repeated. "Replicable" means capable of being replicated or reproduced, which fits this context. "Redeemable" relates to being able to be saved or made good; "observable" means able to be seen; "comprehensible" means able to be understood. None of these other terms fit the idea of applying the conservation approach across the genus as well as "replicable".

Answer:

C. replicable
