Uetz and colleagues (2002, 2008) presented isolated visual and seismic components of the male brush-legged wolf spider's multimodal courtship display to females and concluded that the components in both channels appear to contain largely redundant information. They concluded this because
A) presentation of neither of the isolated visual or seismic components alone elicited sexual receptivity in the female.
B) presentation of the isolated visual and seismic components each elicited sexual receptivity in the female.
C) presentation of the seismic component elicited sexual receptivity in the female, but presentation of the visual component did not.
D) presentation of the visual component elicited sexual receptivity in the female, but presentation of the seismic component did not.
