Monarch butterflies are a migratory species that flies south once during the lifetime of an individual. One specific population flies to Cuba, where it encounters and shares habitat with resident monarchs that do not migrate and stay within Cuba their entire lifespan. The table shows comparisons between the two populations. What data indicate the greatest difference between the populations? A. Male to female ratio B. Difference in wing size C. Higher mean weight D . Average of wing angle
