Answer:
Option B) Temperature
Explanation:
The gender of some reptiles is determined by temperature.
The sex of most turtles, alligators, and crocodiles is determined after fertilization. The temperature of the developing eggs is what decides whether the offspring will be male or female. This is called temperature-dependent sex determination, or TSD.
Research shows that if a turtle's eggs incubate below 81.86 Fahrenheit, the turtle hatchlings will be male.
If the eggs incubate above 87.8° Fahrenheit, however, the hatchlings will be female.
Temperatures that fluctuate between the two extremes will produce a mix of male and female baby turtles.
