Let us look at the what, why and how of studying extreme places like the deep earth and the deep space. Scientists need to figure out as to 'what' they want to look at such places, be it a new exotic creature or bio-genesis (birth of life). Unless there are several testable hypothesis constructed, such a study cannot begin. The 'why' aspect deals with the purpose of such research and expeditions. Is it of any use to the humans, or will it improve our current understanding of a phenomenon? The 'how' aspect deals with the technology and the economic assistance that can help in undertaking such a research. All these are the challenges that needed to be thoroughly considered to make such a research or expedition possible.

Answer:
The correct answer would be - "bacterial populations evolve in response to the selection pressure imposed by antibiotics".
Explanation:
The given information provided in the question about the bacterial infection supports the hypothesis that the bacterial population shows the evolution in response to the selection pressure caused by the antibiotics due to the fact that bacteria increased resistance gradually with time. This resistance towards antibiotics increased the percentage of bacterially infected children in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In this case, the population of bacteria having resistance genes is selected to evolved selected to increase their offsprings.
