Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "high levels of radiation".

Explanation:

The most dramatic environmental consequence of the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl was the high levels of radiation at the city and regions around it. It is reported that soon after the explosion people at Chernobyl were exposed to radiation levels of  8,000 to 16,000 millisievert (mSv), which has compared to receiving 80,000 to 160,000 chest X-rays. The environmental consequences of the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl are practically permanent, which has lead the authorities to establish an  Exclusion Zone of approximately 2,600 km2.

Causes of natural selection include: Genetic drift, mutation(changes allelic frequency) and sexual selection

In the given example, condition necessary for natural selection to occur on the mouse population is traits that affect the survival of the mice vary among individual mice, in this condition superior genotype will get the opportunity to reproduce and inferior genotype does not get opportunity to reproduce thus their genotype in population does not increase rapidly and hence they become eliminated leading to genetic drift
