A drought occurs in an environment with a large plant population. Which element of natural selection is most likely to enable part of the population to survive and reproduce?
Athe potential for the plant population to produce more offspring than can survive
Ba change in climate conditions
Ccompetition with other plant and animal populations for finite water resources
Dsome individual plants inherited traits that enable them to survive a drought

this is math not biology xd

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
