Question

A.natural selection.B.genetic drift.C.founder effect.D.industrial melanism.

Answer 1

A.natural selection

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the capacity of an organism to adapt to its environment. To achieve this the organism must have variations in its genotype to increase its chances to survive and breed. In the case of the frogs, we observe how even when they suffered a genetic drift (change in the genetic pool) they adapted and survived, therefore A.natural selection is the correct answer.
