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 .

xenn [34]
I’m pretty sure flowers, when they are buds, are protected by leaf-like structures called “sepals.” All of the sepals collectively are called a calyx. They protect the bud and are behind the actual flower petals when it blooms. Hope this helped.
