The previous question asked about female turtles and bright lights near beaches. Based on your answer, you can reasonably conclude that
A relocating sea turtles to quiet beaches may be the only way to protect baby turtles.
B roads and parkways should be closed to traffic during sea turtle nesting season.
C hotels near beaches can help sea turtles find their way by keeping beaches brightly lit.
D keeping outside lights off during nesting season helps protect sea turtles and hatchlings.
The correct answer is:
D) keeping outside lights off during nesting season helps protect sea turtles and hatchlings.
Explanation: Bright lights near beaches can disorient female turtles and their hatchlings, leading them away from the ocean. By keeping outside lights off during nesting season, it allows turtles to navigate safely and find their way to the sea, which is crucial for their survival. This conclusion is based on the understanding of how artificial lighting impacts sea turtle behavior.
