Answer:
a. This is actually a case of frequency-dependent selection. With too many cheaters in a population, the fruiting body's stalk is not built well, and all individuals have lower fitness.
Explanation:
Frequency dependent selection is a process in evolution whereby the
a gene, genotype or phenotype varies depend on the percentage of that gene, genotype or phenotype that is present in the population.
There are two types of frequency dependent selection:
a. Positive frequency dependent selection.
b. Negative frequency dependent selection.

The answer, I believe, would be C) A decrease in the wolf population - because the prey decreases, fewer wolves will be able to find food, which will lead to a decrease in their population.
Answer: a. capillary action.
Water is a taken up by the plants from the roots, which needs to be transferred to all the parts of the plants to conduct cellular metabolic processes like photosynthesis and respiration. The properties of water molecules are responsible for conduction of water from the root to the stem and other higher parts. The cohesion is the property of water which water molecules are combined with each other due to sharing of bonds at the atomic level. The adhesion is the property of water which allows water molecules to attach with other substances or substrate. Adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. Capillary action occurs when the adhesive force is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules. The supply will be upward and force of gravity will also be applicable on this. Capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. In this way water is drawn upward from the roots through plant tissues to the leaves by capillary action.
