Answer:

Option A, Blindness

A blind person will definitely face problem to search food. Therefore, his/her ability to collect food will get hampered completely.

In race of survival, the fittest species will survive and hence the blind individuals will die in lieu to inability to feed themselves.  

Therefore, option A is correct
