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.........

What causes blood pressure
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Low blood pressure on the other hand can be to do with:
Exercise and how much you do of it because regular exercise keeps blood pressure low.
Eating as after you eat, blood pressure falls.<span><span>
Stress causes blood pressure to rise.
Body temperature and how high it is affects BP because if you're body temperature is high, your BP is usually low.
Hope that helps.
