Which two hypotheses can be supported with quantitative data

Option A and E

Explanation:

Quantitative data means which can be expressed in terms of numbers. So fro the given options we have to look which of the given data can be measure and supported by numbers.

Option A - Protein in the diet can be measure and so does the muscle mass. Therefore, the hypothesis in option A can be supported by Quantitative Data.

Option B - We can not express this in number if something is ethical or not. So, this hypothesis cannot be supported by Quantitative Data

Option C - Happiness cannot be measured in terms of terms or numerical data. So, this hypothesis cannot be supported by Quantitative Data

Option D - Feelings cannot be measured in terms of terms or numerical data. So, this hypothesis cannot be supported by Quantitative Data

Option E - Blood Pressure and salt amount can be measured.  Therefore, the hypothesis in option E can be supported by Quantitative Data.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
