alteration of whale genetic material reversed flow of energy through whale habitats reduced populations of food organisms in whale habitats separation of whale family groups
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Sooj learned that whales use vocalization to navigate and to communicate with other whales. Some scientists think that noise pollution in whale habitats may harm whale populations. What would be the most likely effect of noise pollution on whales?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- alteration of whale genetic material
- reversed flow of energy through whale habitats
- reduced populations of food organisms in whale habitats
- separation of whale family groups

Could you tell me which one is correct?

separation of whale family groups
