Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In biology, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, mate and support evolution through gene transfer. A fitness of 0.28 signifies that only 28 percent of a given population are fit physically and able to reproduce while the remaining 72 % are unable to mate and hence cannot reproduce  and contribute towards gene flow and evolution.

Hence, option B is correct

WHERE DID MOST OF THE EARTHS ATOMS COME FROM
BlackZzzverrR [31]
These hydrogen atoms can come together in nuclear processes called fusion, which is the process that powers the sun, and through fusion, heavier atoms such as carbon and nitrogen are produced. These in turn undergo fusion to make even heavier atoms, and it is such processes that created all the atoms in the earth.
