Recording data for a week (B) seems like it could be overkill. I think we'd get a pretty good sense of the differences just by looking at a single day or maybe a few days.

I'm not sure an equal interval graph (A) would really help here. The differences in aggression frequency might not be linear, so that approach could actually make it harder to see the patterns.

I agree, C seems like the best option. The more data points we have, the better we can analyze the trends.

Hmm, good point. I'm leaning towards option C - including more environments along the horizontal axis. That could help us see the differences more clearly.

I'm not sure about this question. It seems a bit vague to me. What exactly are they looking for in terms of clarifying the differentiation in frequency of aggression?
