All of the following statements (see below) are trying to explain why Tigers eat meat but not plants. Which explanation is the best, and why? In addition to the answer that you have provided, for each of the remaining options you have not chosen, please give a persuasive reason for their dismissalTigers are carnivoresProfessor Julian Olodomongi says so, and he is an expert on TigersTigers are naturally meat eaters, because many years ago the most powerful witches on earth placed a spell on Tigers and forced them to be that wayTiger cells contain a gene that prevents their stomach from digesting plant cells.My science textbooks says Tigers eat meat but not plants.

The best explanation is "Tigers are carnivores". This is a simple, factual statement that explains the dietary habits of tigers. Carnivores are animals that primarily eat other animals. Tigers, like other members of the cat family, have evolved to be carnivores, with physical characteristics such as sharp teeth and claws that are adapted for hunting and eating meat.

The statement "Professor Julian Olodomongi says so, and he is an expert on Tigers" is not the best explanation because it is an appeal to authority. While experts can provide valuable insights, the statement does not provide any specific or direct evidence about why tigers eat meat.

The explanation "Tigers are naturally meat eaters, because many years ago the most powerful witches on earth placed a spell on Tigers and forced them to be that way" can be dismissed because it is based on a supernatural claim that cannot be scientifically tested or verified.

The statement "Tiger cells contain a gene that prevents their stomach from digesting plant cells" is not the best explanation because it is not entirely accurate. While it is true that carnivores have digestive systems that are better suited to processing meat than plant matter, it is not because of a specific gene that prevents the digestion of plant cells.

Finally, the explanation "My science textbooks says Tigers eat meat but not plants" can be dismissed because it is an appeal to authority, similar to the statement about Professor Julian Olodomongi. While textbooks can be a good source of information, the statement does not provide any specific or direct evidence about why tigers eat meat.
