According to the passage, tomato plants defend themselves from predators by
(A) producing a protein in their fruit
(B) connecting electrodes to the surface of predators
(C) setting up an electric fence
(D) changing their taste

According to the passage, tomato plants defend themselves from predators by

根據文章，番茄植物本身會藉由什麼來保護自己避免捕食者/掠奪者入侵？

(A) producing a protein in their fruit 製造蛋白質放入水果/果實裡面
(B) connecting electrodes to the surface of predators  將電極連結到捕食者/掠奪者的身體表面
(C) setting up an electric fence 建立一個有通電的圍欄
(D) changing their taste. 改變它們的口感-->這裡的味道是指毛毛蟲吃番茄植物的葉子的口感

根據文章第二到第四行：All the leaves in the plant begin producing special proteins that interfere with the caterpillar's digestion. Soon, the caterpillar will be disgusted with the taste and will leave the plant alone.

可以知道植物製造出特殊的蛋白質是會進到植物的葉子裡，因為文章有說毛毛蟲會啃食番茄植物的葉子，所以蛋白質不會進到水果/果實裡面，本文的水果是番茄。另，caterpillar will be disgusted with the taste 就可以看出毛毛蟲吃到植物的特殊蛋白質後，會感到噁心、厭惡，改變了原本的口感，因此答案選(D)。
