Question

which of the following is a counterexample for this conditional statement? if an animal lives in the water, then it has scales. a giraffe a salmon a moose an octopus

Explanation:

A counter - example is an example that disproves a statement. The statement is "If an animal lives in the water, then it has scales". A giraffe and a moose do not live in water, so they are not relevant. A salmon lives in water and has scales, so it supports the statement. An octopus lives in water but does not have scales, disproving the statement.

Answer:

an octopus
