Answer:

B: I saw it an hour ago and I didn't want to answer because there are too many ifs. I tried, but it could be wrong.

Explanation:

This is not as simple as it sounds and I have a feeling that the correct answer is in the head of the person designing the question. In other words, I could easily get it wrong.

It depends on whether the tide is going in or going out to start with. The question would be a whole lot easier if the bottle was dropped miles from shore.

A: The bottle is capped. A is certainly not true. The low density of the bottle will keep it afloat until something happens that determines it's permanent direction. Not A.

B: It will if nothing else influences it. There will always be waves around that will insure an up and down movement. This is a possible answer, but not a certain one. A five year old could not throw it very far to start with. Let's read the rest.

C: Maybe. It has happened. The bottle needs a good start and the tide going out to happen.  Let's read the last 2.

D: Not in a million. Not D.

E: It won't be still. The ocean is always moving. Not E.

I'm going to pick B, but it is not a slam dunk.

The correct answer would be B. the population is evolving.

It can be explained with the help of natural selection. It is a natural phenomenon by which organisms which are better adapted to the changing environment have better chances to survive and reproduce.

It leads to a change in the allele frequency of that trait in a population.

For example, in the given population, the allele frequency of red fur increases from 20 to 30 percent. That means the population is evolving to adapt to the changing environment.

U.S emits about 5.1 billion metric tons of carbon in the atmosphere which contribute in air pollution also helps in rising the temperature of the earth atmosphere because carbondioxide is a green house gas which increases the earth temperature.
