Researchers think the cheetah population in Africa experienced extremely low numbers around 10,000 years ago, and then also again around 100 years ago. During both times, the low numbers rebounded back. Predict the consequence of this on the cheetahs of today.

A. Cheetahs are a very resilient population and unlikely to become extinct.

B. Cheetahs today are the strongest and fastest cheetahs ever.

C. Cheetahs today have very little genetic variation.

D. Cheetahs today are slower than those before the population fell.
