Answer: The correct answer is -

Option D.

Explanation:

As per the given information in the question, initially fruit flies were in two different containers having different food sources for several generations. Due to this, they got adapted to the specific food sources to which they were exposed. As a consequence, they started preferring mates that were adapted to the same food source.

Therefore, when fruit flies from the two containers were put together, Fruit flies preferred mates adapted to the same food source.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
