You are given a science question (easy-level) and four answer options (associated with "A", "B", "C", "D"). Your task is to find the correct answer based on scientific facts, knowledge, and reasoning. Do not generate anything else apart from one of the following characters: 'A', 'B, 'C', 'D'. There is only one correct answer for each question.

Input: Consider Input: Researchers are developing new types of crop plants with desirable characteristics such as disease resistance and drought tolerance. Crossing plants so that the next generation will express desirable traits is best described as  
 (A) selective breeding. (B) natural selection. (C) genetic engineering. (D) gene sequencing.

Output: A


Input: Consider Input: Two workers are using a scaffold. One worker weighs 180 lbs. and the other weighs 200 lbs. Impact effects are assumed to increase the live load of the workers' weight by 25 percent. What is the resultant maximum live load, in pounds, that can be expected from the two workers supported by the scaffold?  
 (A) 380 lbs. (B) 475 lbs. (C) 625 lbs. (D) 950 lbs.

Output: B


Input: Consider Input: In some communities, forests are cleared through burning, and the deforested land is used for farming. Which of these is a negative consequence of this practice?  
 (A) decreased plant and animal diversity (B) increased availability of soil nutrients (C) greater access to water for plants and animals (D) less sunlight reaching the ground


Output: A
