It's not B or C...what do you think? A or D?

barreraa · Answer

A maybe

anonymous · Answer

I would actually say D. One, because the question states that it's over a period of years, and two, because it says traits. It would be A if it was implying a short amount of time. But within that amount of time, those racoons would have mated with other racoons.
