Add cannibalism to the fearsome attributes of Tyrannosaurus rex, the big-headed
  dinosaur that roamed North America 66 million years ago and took no prisoners. A study
  released on the scientific website PLoS ONE suggests T-rex made the tooth marks on four
  specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex. If something is dead, it's lunch, said study co-author Gregory
  M. Erickson. T. rex, known for puncture and pull feeding, left discernible marks in the bones
  of its prey. And, researchers said, no other carnivore living at that time could have left such bite
  marks in skeletons. They also determined the pattern and nature of the gouges left from bite
  marks indicated the attacker was likely feeding on a carcass. Immortalized in the popular culture
  and the movie Jurassic Park, Tyrannosaurus rex is the poster child of prehistoric creatures. The
  discovery of T. rex fossils has increased steadily in the past 10 years, Erickson said
  As used in the following sentence, the word discernible most nearly means:
  T. rex, known for puncture and pull feeding, left discernible marks in the bones of its prey.
 
  a. noticeable
  b. discreet
  c. deep
  d. painful
