Hello @Tishockjo ! Which do you think it is? Why or why not? It would be easier to tutor you if you explained what about the question is giving you trouble.

OpenStudy (tishockjo):

I think the answers would be A and C?

OpenStudy (tishockjo):

I'm sure is A is right...but I'm not sure about C!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

one min

OpenStudy (abhisar):

can we select more than one options ?

OpenStudy (tishockjo):

yes is more than one ''Choose all answers that are correct.'':)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

See a is incorrect since both population will be effected. Suppose if prey population is decreased somehow then predator population will also decrease in absence of food !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Option B which says "Nature selects for traits that allow for increased rates of reproduction and survival over traits that don't." is correct since this the main idea of natural selection.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

option D is absolutely correct

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Option C doesn't make any sense !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

are u getting my points ?

OpenStudy (tishockjo):

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Option C would have been correct if it had stated Viability Selection determines which generations will be influenced by natural selection.
