Based on the information provided, the group(s) that would be expected to survive and reproduce, passing on the traits to future offspring, would be:
C) Groups A, C, and E.
Since the climate changes have caused a drought and there is no food to collect, animals that are able to adapt their behavior and become predators to catch and kill prey will have a higher chance of survival. Therefore, individuals in Group A (the animals that become predators) would have an advantage.
Additionally, Groups C and E are not explicitly mentioned in the question, but since they are not excluded, it can be assumed that they also have traits that enable them to survive and reproduce in the given situation.
Hence, individuals in Groups A, C, and E would be expected to survive and pass on their traits to future offspring.
