Which of the best explanation of directional natural selection occur by change in environmental condition?

A. Increase in the frequency of dark-colored mutants in polluted areas, became known as industrial melanism

B. Numerous insect pests become resistant to insecticides and numerous bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.

C. A plant that is too short may not be able to compete with other plants for sunlight. However, extremely tall plants may be more susceptible to wind damage

D- Beetles move into a new environment with patches of light-green moss and dark-green shrubs, both light and dark beetles might be better hidden (and survive better) than medium-green beetles

Some xanthophylls also participate in energy dissipation such as in light conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin with antheraxanthin as the intermediate and vice-versa, which of the following statements is CORRECT?

a.) The conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of co-factor Ascorbate and violaxanthin de-epoxidase under high PPFD

b.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin with the help of NADPH and oxygen under low PPFD

c.) Conversion of Violaxanthin to Zeaxanthin a singlet oxygen is removed with the help of NADPH and water under low PPFD

d.) Zeaxanthin is oxidised into violaxanthin in presence of enzyme known as violaxanthin de-epoxidase and co-factor Ascorbate under high PPFD
