New problem and solution Β·Properly dividing parallel tasks is hard; solution was to design computer network like tree branches
Tree branches follow very efficient patterns for collecting and moving resources; computer networks that follow the same underlying patterns are very efficient at generating and transmitting data
This is the best answer. (A) supports Emeagwaliβs prediction by showing that scientists have only recently become aware of the many math principles underlying natural processes. Because they have only recently become aware of these principles, we have at least some evidence that they are more likely to pay attention to these principles now and in the future compared to the past. This provides support to the prediction that scientists will βincreasinglyβ look to nature.

This doesnβt connect technological problems to solutions that might be found in nature. This simply indicates that some variables affecting the weather havenβt been discovered. But would looking to the weather or other aspects of nature help in solving technical problems? (B) doesnβt help answer this question.
This compares the success of designs for natural phenomena that are affected by human activities vs. those that arenβt affected by human activity. But it doesnβt help connect technological problems to solutions found in nature. What should lead us to think computer scientists will increasingly look to nature? (C) doesnβt help answer this question.

This doesnβt connect technological problems to solutions that might be found in nature. More importantly, it doesnβt tell us why computer scientists generally will be more likely to turn to nature (as opposed to Emeagwali himself).
This doesnβt connect technological problems to solutions that might be found in nature. Are the math principles described in (E) found in nature? Will they help for future technololgy? (E) doesnβt answer these questions.
