Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the process whereby organisms adapted better to their environment which lead to survive and produce more offspring.

* *Natural selection was expounded by Charles Darwin .

Natural selection is now days believed to be the main process through which evolution occurs.

* It leads to survival of fittest and extinct the other which are not fit with environment.

*As here in the case of rabbits, those that strictly eat grass will even survive after drought.

But the rabbits that strictly eat berries and flowers will not be able to survive because they were strictly dependent on berries and flowers for their food.

A) is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit

  • In the given example of rabbits, those that strictly eat grass will even survive after drought because plants will try to keep themselves green and there will be no production of berries and flowers hence these rabbits will shift their food source to green plants and will be favored
  • But those rabbits those that strictly eat berries and flowers will not be able to survive because they were strictly dependent on berries and flowers for their food as a result they will be unfit and natural selection will be against those rabbits
