which of the following shows methods of harvesting corn in order from the
lowest rate of resource consumption to the highest?
a. picked and sorted by hand hand-picked and sorted by a simple
machine picked and sorted by complex machinery
o
b. picked and sorted by hand picked and sorted by complex
machinery hand-picked and sorted by a simple machine
o
c. hand-picked and sorted by a simple machine → picked and sorted
by hand picked and sorted by complex machinery
o
d. picked and sorted by complex machinery — hand-picked and
sorted by a simple machine → picked and sorted by hand

The correct option is A) Picked and sorted by hand, hand-picked and sorted by a simple  machine picked and sorted by complex machinery

Explanation:

Option A is correct because the first method is to pick ans sort by using the hands only which will be the lowest resource consumption as only hands are being used. The second method illustrates using hands for picking ans simple machinery for sorting. As simple machinery is being used hence this method uses more resources than the first one. The third method described using complex machinery for both picking and sorting, which will use the highest resources.

explanation:

the fossil record extends back to a dog-like ancestor some 55 million years ago, which gave rise to the first horse-like species 55 to 42 million years ago in the genus eohippus.
