Answer: d. The giraffes with the longest necks survive and produce offspring.

Natural selection can be defined as a differential survival and reproduction. In this the organism having a favorable phenotypic advantage has better chances of survival and reproduction as compared to the other. The given situation is an example of natural selection. The long neck of giraffes is a phenotypic advantage that helps in deriving food as compared to it's competing herbivorous species. Thus, giving them a chance to survive and produce offsprings.

I believe it would be D, since the animals that had more food, and a advantage, would produce and so on.

Question (1): Explain how the earliest philosophers arrived at the conclusion that "this primary entity
cestrela7 [59]

The leaders of the earliest philosophers were Socrates and Aristotle. This led the thinkers who arrived at the conclusion regarding the Primary Entity.

<h3>What was the proof for the conclusion of the Primary Entity?</h3>

Their logic for arriving at the above conclusion that "the primary entity (arche) always persists)" was that, since nothing can be completely annihilated or truly generated from the origin, but each returns to it's origin if they are destroyed, then it means that the primary entity must always persist.

In simple language, nothing is either destroyed or created.
