Respuesta :

Answer:B

Explanation:

If lizards with long legs can run faster to escape the new predator than lizards with short legs can, then the long-legged lizards are more likely to survive and reproduce. The short-legged lizards are more likely to be caught by the predator, so they are less likely to survive and reproduce. Because of this, the majority of the lizards' offspring have long legs.
