In the cricket lab, we investigated the effect on territoriality on aggression. Which of the following is correct and can be included in the Discussion section of your paper?

A. The data proves that territoriality has an affect on aggression of male house crickets. B. This experiment can be improved by adding a female into the artificial environment to test if male house crickets fight for courtship advantages, a behavior that has been seen in field crickets (Alexander 162). C. A Chi-squared test was run and the p value was 0.022. Since this is below the significance level of 0.05, the null hypothesis can be rejected. D. All animal subjects were maintained in a very artificial environment and this could account for the decreased levels in territoriality and aggression.
