B) The altruist is appreciated by other members of the population because their survivability has been enhanced by virtue of the altruist's risky behavior. C) Animals that perform altruistic acts are allowed by their population to breed more, thereby passing on their behavior genes to future generations. D) Altruistic behaviors lower stress in populations, which increases the survivability of all the members of the population.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) By its actions, the altruist increases the likelihood that some of its genes will be passed on to the next generation.

Explanation:

People who have altruistic behavior tend to be able to form strong personal relationship with other people and make them generally well-liked in a society.

Because of this, they tend to be surrounded by strong groups who are willing to help them in case they are facing any troubles and protect them from danger. This will increase their survivability along with the likelihood that some of its genes will be passed on to the next generation
