Natural selection. Only spiders that were more resistant to the pesticide lived through the first spraying of the pesticide, thus we're the only ones that could reproduce. This in turn made the offspring of the previous generation more resistant as well; thus making the pesticide less effective.
Well, I don't fully understand your question. I think I know what you're getting at though.
In a system of sexual reproduction, you have genes coming from both an egg and the sperm. Therefore, it'll only contain half the total amount of chromosomes (46 in humans). A sperm will have 23, and the egg will have the other 23. Is that what you meant why the chromosomes are cut out in pairs? If that wasn't your question, please elaborate and I'll return to answer it to the best of my capabilities.

Answer:
D. Because you get the same number of chromosomes from both parents
