The correct answer is A. cephalopods, ocean dwellers that include the squid, the octopus, and the cuttlefish.Explanation:The sentence is discussing the special genetic ability of cephalopods, which are a type of ocean-dwelling creature that includes the squid, octopus, and cuttlefish. The correct punctuation and phrasing should be:"Eli Eisenberg, a genetics expert at Tel Aviv University in Israel, recently discovered that cephalopods, ocean dwellers that include the squid, the octopus, and the cuttlefish, have a special genetic ability called RNA editing that confers evolutionary advantages."The use of commas to set off the additional information about cephalopods is the correct way to conform to the conventions of Standard English.
