Answer 1

D.All of the Above

How has selective breeding changed the wolf into the many different breeds of domestic dogs that we know today?

a. Animals with the traits that were desired were bred to each other.

b. As civilization changed, so did our need and desire for different types of dogs.

c. The fear of humans was bred out of wild wolves.

d. All of the above.

Answer 2

All three options are correct. As you might know, many dogs existent today aren't actually natural breeds, and that's why the question mentions "selective breeding" which you might also know as "genetic engineering".

We also noticed, that "captivation wolves" were actually very useful to us, and that's why we created what we now know as dogs. We started breeding cuter, smaller, bigger, smaller, more or less tempered dogs; whichever was most useful to us.

Hope it helped,
