【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:根据文章描述,可以明确以下几点: 1. 文章首先提到斑点猫头鹰(spotted owl)最初受到太平洋西北部伐木活动(logging)的威胁。 2. 接着提到斑点猫头鹰现在面临的新敌人是横斑猫头鹰(barred owl),这种猫头鹰从美国东部迁移到西北部。 3. 文章中提到加州大学伯克利分校的Ned K. Brown教授说:“在华盛顿州的一些地区,横斑猫头鹰迁入非常密集、深邃的森林。这种森林同样因为伐木而被开放或破坏,这对斑点猫头鹰产生了不利影响。” 4. 文章最后也提到横斑猫头鹰喜欢生活在伐木工人喜欢砍伐树木的深林中。 基于以上信息,我们可以推断横斑猫头鹰喜欢生活在华盛顿州密集、深邃的森林中。这与选项C的描述“deep,dense woods of Washington”相符。 因此,答案是C。
