Answer:
A. The ecosystem can support fewer foxes than grasshoppers.
Explanation:
Since the energy has to transfer from organism to organism, it reduces in amount. Since there are more grasshoppers than foxes, than the ecosystem can support grasshoppers easily.
There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
Agree, the cells are the basic unit of life therefore it’s agree. The cell is the basic unit or cell of any organism.
