    • Sam could sleep peacefully

    Correct Answer
    A. He could keep track of the hunters and the deer
    Explanation
    Being in the top of a tree during deer season would be advantageous because it would allow Sam to keep track of both the hunters and the deer. By being in an elevated position, Sam would have a better vantage point to observe the movements of both parties. This would enable him to stay aware of any potential danger from the hunters and also keep an eye on the deer, increasing his chances of success in hunting or avoiding being hunted.
