Which of the following conditions would biologists say was required for the evolution of DDT resistance in a population of boll weevils? A) Boll weevils in the population learned to adapt to the high levels of DDT in the environment. B) The boll weevil population needed to evolve DDT resistance in order to avoid extinction C) A few boll weevils in the population were resistant to DDT before it was ever used. D) Exposure to DDT caused specific, nonrandom mutations for DOT resistance within the population.
