Answer 2

Answer:

A.) Dogs have more olfactory receptors in their noses, allowing them to identify people by their smell

Explanation:

There are reports that dogs have 4 times more olfactory receptors than other animals. These animals have between 200 and 300 million olfactory receptors, it is a high figure when compared to the 5 million people have.

The dogs have turrets, which are covered by a mucosa with many folds. Thanks to these bone structures and these folds, the surface of their olfactory mucosa increases significantly and, consequently, their olfactory receptors also multiply
