To determine the author’s purpose for writing the passage, you need to identify the main message being conveyed. If the passage discusses the positive aspects of bats and how they can be beneficial to humans despite common fears, then the correct answer would be:
D. explain how bats can be helpful to humans even if they seem scary.
