Answer:

C. Some marsupial mole rats had a natural immunity to the virus.

Explanation:

According to Darwin's evolutionary theory, over time some of marsupial moles may have acquired natural immunity which evolves as an adaptive trait in the population. Since these organisms have more chance to survive and reproduce (survival of the fittest), they will likely transmit the natural immunity to the next generation .
