Answer: The correct answer is -

A: beneficial.

Mutation can be described as permanent change in the genetic material (DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid) of living organisms.

In certain genes of bacteria, mutation allows them to become resistant against powerful antibiotics.

Due to this, bacteria are no more sensitive to the action of antibiotics that is they can not be killed by the action of antibiotics.

Thus, such mutation is beneficial to the bacteria as it is increasing the rate of survival of bacteria.

Therefore, option A) is the right answer.

  • If the bats were susceptible to neurotoxin then they must not have been the frequent feeders of cycad seeds. Biomagnification of neurotoxin in flying fox is a widely researched topic.
  • Beetles do not have an association with these bats thus the bats must not be assisting them as important pollinating agents.
