Answer: Option 3.

Explanation:

Zoo is a place where the animals are kept for the public to have a look at them, observe their behavior and learn about them. There are a number of zoos in the world where there are variety of species that the people who visit the zoo, get to see.

If the Brewster zoo has decided that it will not keep the animals in the common places and it has to place the animals in separate places, then it can not keep the animals in the enclosures. Because this is again a way in which the animals are kept together wit each other. In this, all the animals are housed together for the people to see.
