Species are organisms which have similar characteristics and are capable
of interbreeding. A common example is we human beings.
Resources leads to species biodiversity as a result of organisms moving
from one place to another in search of food for its survival. The availability
of resources will lead to an increase in reproduction and species
biodiversity as more organisms will be present in the area.
Scarcity of resources on the other hand results to lower species biodiversity
and decreased reproduction rate.

The answer would be: <span>A. Mitochondrial DNA is beneficial in both of these cases
</span>
Mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA is DNA that found in the mitochondrial. Mitochondrial DNA only inherited from mother, so it's relatively unchanged than nuclear DNA that mixed from father and mother.
Mitochondrial DNA has higher mutation rate in animals because it doesn't have repair mechanism like nuclear DNA. These mutations can be used as a clue for how close the relation of an organism to others.
This makes analyzing the ancestral relationship of organisms that closely or distantly related easier.

Mutation can cause instant adaptation while natural selection is the process by which adaptation occurs over a series of generations.
