Claim: Cooperation in groups increases success at defending territory from rivals. Two pieces of evidence are offered:
  1. Experiment: Researchers temporarily reduced group size in 12 territories (from ~10 adults to ~5 adults) by relocating some adults for 1 week; 12 similar territories were left unchanged. Reduced-size groups lost 7/12 territorial disputes that week; unchanged groups lost 2/12.
  2. Observation: In a different year, the species' average body mass increased by 5% during a season with high rainfall.
Which option correctly identifies the most relevant evidence supporting the claim?
