The correct answer is a - Lipid

Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.

Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only  one molecule and are not macromolecuels.

Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

B) Natural selection favored rabbits that were resistant to the virus

Explanation:

Most likely, virus resistance occurred over time, as a consequence of mutation. Individuals that carried the resistance mutation become favourable by natural selection.

Natural selection is evolutionary mechanism which favours traits of an organism that help him survive and reproduce (increase organism's fitness). In the example above, resistant rabbits that survived had the favorable trait (resistance) by natural selection.
