Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) happened by chance</em>

Explanation:

Mutations can be described as any changes which occur in the DNA of an organism. Mutations can be natural or induced through methods like the use of chemicals.

Mutations occur randomly and happen by chance. Hence, option C is correct.

Other options like option A are false because mutation is the sudden change in the genome of an organism. Hence, mutations will not cause the teeth to grow longer until they reach an optimal length.

Irrigation

Water is artificially delivered to the soil by a variety of tube, pump, and spraying systems. In regions with erratic rainfall, dry spells, or potential drought, irrigation is frequently employed. There are many different kinds of irrigation systems, where water is distributed evenly throughout the entire area.

Surface water from rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, groundwater from springs or wells, and even water from other sources like treated sewage or desalinated water can all be used for irrigation. Therefore, it is crucial for farmers to safeguard their agricultural water supply to reduce the risk of pollution.

In lines 75-78, Romeo kills Paris without understanding the significance of this action, though the audience does. Cite another
ivanzaharov [21]

I would say the opening of the play displays dramatic irony. When they are talking about the two households they say something a long the lines of "with their death bury their parents strife" which means only when Juliet and Romeo died did the to households stop fighting. I would say this is dramatic irony because the audience knows that something will happen but the characters do not.
