To determine the correct answer, you can analyze the statements individually:
1. "Ladybugs have only a few offspring, while humans have many."
This statement compares the number of offspring between ladybugs and humans. However, this statement does not address the issue of parental care.
2. "Humans expend energy and time to care for offspring, while ladybugs do not."
This statement talks about the difference in parental care between humans and ladybugs. It implies that humans invest energy and time in caring for their offspring, while ladybugs do not.
3. "Both ladybugs and humans expend energy and time to care for their offspring."
This statement suggests that both ladybugs and humans engage in parental care.
4. "Both ladybugs and humans have only a few offspring."
