Select the correct answer.
Read the adapted excerpt from "What Is an Aquarium?" by Shirley Hibberd.
The term vivarium applies to any collection of animals-to a park of deer, a rabbit warren, a menagerle, or even a traveling show containing
an asthmatic llon, a seedy cockatoo, and a pair of snakes that are hourly stirred up with a long pole. For this reason, such a term could
never convey the very special Idea of a vessel containing such specimens as form the stock of the aquarium. When this was felt, the prefix
aqua was added to vivarium, to convey the idea of the watery medium in which the specimens are Immersed.
Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt?
OA.

the more specific prefix aqua to the term.
OB. The term vivarium applies to any collection of animals-to a park of deer, a rabbit warren, a menagerle, or even a traveling
show containing an asthmatic llon, a seedy cockatoo, and a pair of snakes.
OC. The term vivarium applies to the very special idea of a vessel containing such specimens as underwater creatures, conveying
the watery medium in which the specimens are immersed (Hibberd).
OD. The word vivarium is a broader term that applies to any enclosure for animals, so to describe tanks made just for underwater
creatures, we created the term aqua-vivarium (Hibberd).
