Answer: C. scorpions have changed as a result of natural selection

Explanation:

The text tells us that scorpions today are now smaller than they were in the past. This means that the scorpions have changed since then i.e. they have evolved.

The primary reason for evolution is natural selection which refers to a situation whereby only the organisms that are better adapted in their species survive.

The conclusion that can be drawn from this research therefore is that we have smaller scorpions today because they stood a better chance of survival than the larger ones and so survived whilst the larger ones died out.

gregori [183]

Carbon is the atom, which is necessarily find in the living organism.

All the living organisms are made up of biomolecules. All the biomolecules are organic compounds. The substance cannot be consider as living, if it lacks nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), both have a structure made up of carbon rings and chains.

Other than nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones etc are also made up of carbon. So, all the living cells, or dead remain of organism must have carbon atom.
