Some kit fox populations live in forested areas and others inhabit desert environments. The foxes appear almost identical, except for ear size. The desert kit fox population has significantly larger ears. Which statement best explains this divergence? OThe difterence is due to an evolution in ear size because of the need for desert kit foxes to hear predators in an environment with no camoulage. To adapt to the high heat of the desert, the desert kit fox evolved ears with greater surface area, which allows for more efficient removal of excess body heat O The emergence of diterent ear sizes prompted a division ot the species, and the large-ear kit fox was torced to migrate to a new habitat. O The similarities of the two kit fox populations suggest that the two populations underwent paralel evolution, though ear size remained different.
