In 1999, teams in colorado and california were working together to put nasa's mars climate orbiter in orbit around mars. the mission of the orbiter was to look for evidence of water. one team used english units of measurement. the other team used metric measurement. as a result, the spacecraft was lost. what would be the simplest and most cost-effective way to avoid mistakes like this in the future?

i think that the best answer would be c.

tell me if im wrong : )

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
