Correct Answer: predict


Solution : The most appropriate option is the second option.

Explanation:

This is the correct choice. "Predict" is a verb that means to foretell or forecast. In the context of the sentence, it fits well, as scientists cannot predict certain outcomes or developments related to the impact of climate change on bees.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Shrimp is a noun referring to a type of shellfish.

Shun is a verb that means to avoid or ignore deliberately.

Notify is a verb that means to inform or give notice.

Therefore, the correct word is predict.
