A transformation experiment is performed with a donor strain that is resistant to four drugs: W, X, Y, and Z. The recipient is sensitive to all four drugs. The treated recipient population is divided up and plated on media containing various combinations of the drugs. The table below shows the results:

Drug(s) added	Number of Colonies
None	20,000
WX	76
WY	1324
WZ	1976
XY	85
XZ	69
YZ	1564
WXY	50
WXZ	62
WYZ	1354
XYZ	48
WXYZ	53

Following observation are given

A) X gene is obviously quite distant from the other three genes

B) Y gene is obviously quite distant from the other three genes

C) The Order is three closely link gene W Z Y

D) The Order is three closely link gene W X Z
