Marine biologists want to determine whether a small increase in acidity of sea water would adversely affect marine life. They randomly assigned several Entacmaea quadricolor (a type of sea anemone), to one of eight aquariums with environments as similar as possible to the natural habitat. Then they randomly selected four tanks, and gradually increased the acidity of the water. They monitored the health of the anemones for the duration of the study. Which is not true about this study?
- A.
  
  An advantage of using only one variety of sea anemones is that there should be less variability in the response to each treatment.
- B.
  
  A disadvantage of using only one variety of sea anemones is that the scope of inference is limited only to that type of anemone.
- C.
  
  An advantage of using aquariums is that it is easier to maintain control to avoid confounding factors.

  A disadvantage of using aquariums is that the anemones might respond differently in the ocean than they do in the aquariums.

  If the anemones in the aquariums with increased acidity are less healthy than those without increased acidity, it cannot be determined that the increased acidity caused the response.
