Suppose That the Body‒surface Area of Mammals Was Proportional to Weight^5/6

Multiple Choice

Suppose that the body‒surface area of mammals was proportional to weight^5/6. Following the other lines of reasoning associated with Rubner's surface "law," what would be the predicted relationship between metabolic rate and weight?

A) M = aW^0.5
B) M = aW^2/3
C) M = aW^5/6
D) M = aW^(2/3*5/6) = aW^(5/9)
