Which of the following conditions would biologists say was required for the evolution of DDT resistance in a population?
a. A few mosquitoes in the population were resistant to DDT before it was ever used.
b. Mosquitoes in the population learned to adapt to the high levels of DDT in the environment.
c. The mosquito population needed to evolve DDT resistance in order to avoid extinction.
