PrepTest 85, Section 2, Question 20
For pollinating certain crops such as cranberries, bumblebees are far more efficient than honeybees. This is because a bumblebee tends to visit only a few plant species in a limited area, whereas a honeybee generally flies over a much broader area and visits a wider variety of species.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?
If a honeybee visits a wider variety of plant species than a bumblebee visits, the honeybee will be less efficient than the bumblebee at pollinating any one of those species.
The number of plant species other than cranberries that a bee visits affects the efficiency with which the bee pollinates cranberries.
The broader an area a bee flies over, the smaller the number of plant species that bee will be able to visit.
Cranberries are typically found concentrated in limited areas that bumblebees are more likely than honeybees ever to visit.
The greater the likelihood of a given bee species visiting one or more plants in a given cranberry crop, the more efficient that bee species will be at pollinating that crop.
