Mosquitoes in tropical regions can carry and transmit the malaria parasite to humans. The mosquitoes used to be killed in these

regions by spraying them with the insecticide DDT. The mosquitoes that were earlier sensitive to DDT are now not killed by DDT and grow and multiply even in the presence of DDT. How can you explain this phenomenon?
Select one of the options below as your answer:


A.
All of the mosquitoes must have undergone a mutation for DDT resistance and produced similar kind of resistant offspring, which evolved into a DDT resistant population.


B.
Some of the
mosquitoes must have undergone a mutation for DDT resistance and produced similar kind of resistant offspring, which would have been selected by nature.


C.
All of the mosquitoes must have slowly increased their tolerance level to DDT and ultimately would have become completely resistant to DDT.

Explanation:

When reading the passage, we understand that the author opposes the first sentence. The second sentence would effectively validate the first statement if it were correct, in which case, it would make the author's point invalid.

A is not correct because the author does not support the first idea.

B is not correct because although the author actually contests the first sentence, the author does not accept the findings in the following sentence.

C is not correct since the author thinks the first sentence is invalid, but the second sentence does not validate that sentence.

D is not correct since both the first and second sentences oppose the author's opinion.
