A store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models. The sets are described by the diagram below. Each circled letter represents a box of 6 model atoms of one element. For example, the circled letter "P" represents a box with 6 model phosphorous atoms. -Set 1 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 18 hydrogen atoms.

-Set 2 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms.

-Set 3 has 6 carbon, 12 oxygen, 12 hydrogen, 6 nitrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms.

-Set 4 has 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, 6 hydrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms.

Which change to one of the kits would make it useful for modeling proteins?
_A. Set 1, add a box for phosphorous (P) atoms.
_B. Set 2, add a box for sulfur (S) atoms
_C. Set 3, replace the box of phosphorous (P) atoms with a box of sulfur (S) atoms
_D. Set 4, replace the box of oxygen (O) atoms with a box of nitrogen atoms (N)

i think that is new experiments yield untrustworthy data and should be carefully considered, because you don't know what will happen with the experiments.

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.

the answer is definitely a
