Answer:

The bacteria with the mutation will survive.

Explanation:

In this population, if there is a group of bacteria of the same specie that mutate and this mutation is the expression of antibiotic resistance, this mean that the "mutant bacteria" are going to live spite the action of the drug.

Meanwhile the rest of the population is going to die because these group of living things are susceptible to the antibiotic, that means, they are going to die.

In the other hand, the "mutant" living things, by passing the time are going to reproduce and lead a new generation of bacteria resistant to the antibiotic.
