The smaller animals with short horns will be selected because the selection pressure, the hunters, favors their survival.

The correct answer is - traits for smaller animals with short horns will be selected.

Because of the pressure from the hunters that will be put upon the animals that are larger and have big horns, the animals will respond in having smaller size and smaller horns, or even be without horns. This will be an evolutionary trait in order for the animals to be able to survive, as they will be witnessing the death of the larger ones with bigger horns, so the selection will be going in the opposite way as the chances for survival are greater.

The example with the elephants in South Africa is a perfect example, where the elephants started to have much shorter tusks, or no tusks at all, after they were hunting because of the tusks.

<span>Well this isn't actually a question but to market to a company like this you first have to impress a small number of people in a single chain of command. Your products don't have to be marketed to a company as a whole or to a single rung of the food chain but to each successive member in a hierarchy in the company. Firstly to the employee, then to their management then to the ones who actually making the decision to buy.</span>
