Respuesta :

C. Alligators have darker skin than crocodiles

Just by heart I can tell that C is the answer. Alligators tend to spend much more time in the water (aka Murkier water) than a Crocodile does. Crocodiles spend more time in the sun and dirt, but they both share the same water relationship.
