The environment rather than the specific ring


In the digger wasp experiment, it was shown that the wasp used the arrangement of a ring of pinecones to navigate back to the nest. Which experiment would show that the wasp uses the arrangement of objects in the environment rather than the specific "ring" shape to find the nest?

A) Place a ring of pinecones around the nest while the wasp is inside. After she leaves the nest, place a ring of rocks to the side of the nest and see if she returns to the arrangement of rocks instead of the nest. Repeat using other materials.

B) Place a triangle of pinecones around the nest while the wasp is inside. After she leaves the nest, move the triangle to the side of the nest and see if she returns to the arrangement of pinecones instead of the nest. Repeat for other shapes.

C) Place a ring of pinecones around the nest while the wasp is inside. After she leaves the nest, arrange the pinecones in a triangle and see if she can navigate back to the nest.

D) Place a ring of pinecones around the nest while the wasp is inside. After she leaves the nest, place several differently shaped arrangements of pinecones near the nest and see if she can locate her nest.
