a. parsimony; simplest; fewest
When selecting among multiple possible phylogenetic trees that fit our data, we commonly use the principle of <u>parsimony</u>, which means we choose the <u>simplest</u> possible hypothesis. In phylogenetic analysis, that means selecting the tree that represents the <u>fewest</u> evolutionary changes or mutations.
Explanation:
Phylogeny describes the evolutionary history of on organism or group of organisms.
A phylogenetic tree structure is used to describe the relationship between various organisms which have originated from common ancestors.
The Principle of Parsimony is best applied while constructing phylogenetic tree.
This principle emphasizes on simple observations on a phylogeny which requires only few changes or variations which explain for the difference between the phylogenic sequences.
This tree structure will only have few specific genetic variations or mutations or evolutionary changes which took place through new appearance of a trait or disappearance of an existing trait.

Answer:
a. bottleneck effect.
Explanation:
A bottleneck effect occurs when some adverse environmental conditions such as typhoons and famine reduce the population size considerably. The allele frequencies of the population are changed. As the population grows again, the gene pool has different allele frequencies than the original population. During population growth, some harmful alleles may become more abundant resulting in a rare disease such as achromatopsia. Therefore, the given population represents the bottleneck effect.
cannot breathe, is not a living organism, doesn't grow doesn't move
Oxygen is non metal meaning they are negative
