A. Elephants with no or small tusks survive to reproduce and pass on their trait because they are not poached. (Natural selection). So it has changed overtime.

The correct answer is B, I know this because none of the other answers are even reasonable. For example-
A is wrong because the size of elephant tusk has not changed over time, elephant tusk just grow...
C is wrong because it makes no sense to hunt elephants with no tusk :/
D is completely wrong because tusk have nothing to do with reproduction, those are two completely separate bodily functions.........

17. Could an organism survive
AVprozaik [17]
No; while a cell can use passive transport to bring in water, it must use energy to bring in larger particles. There also may not be enough of a difference in concentration of particles for diffusion to occur.
