Humans have been selectively breeding corn for generations. During the process of domestication, the wild form of corn was eventually changed
into a form that has more favorable traits. Early farmers most likely used
corn seed that had -

A. thin stalks to withstand stronger wind.

B. a darker color so that they would blend with the field and be protected from predators.

C. larger leaves that could be used for compost.

D. the ability to grow in a large number of climates, soil types, and produced the largest
amount of kernels.
