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

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.
