"The information above most strongly supports which of the following conclusions about frogs in the Yucatan peninsula" September 2009 LSAT Section 4

Is this a strengthen stem? I thought it was a must be true question at first, but then I realized that the answers weren't all 100% true, so then I thought it would be which answer is most strengthened/ supported by the stimulus

Hi,

That's a good question, and you refer to a very important distinction between question types. Strengthen questions require you to find the answer choice which, if true, would strengthen a given argument. The question that you ask about asks for the choice that is most supported by the information presented in the stimulus; as such, this is a Must be True question.

I hope that's helpful! Please let me know whether this is clear--thanks!
