Of the following examples of ecological effect leading to an evolutionary effect, which is most correct? 

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. When seeds are not plentiful ? trees produce more seeds.
  2. A  few  organisms of  a  larger  population  survive  a  drought  ?  these survivors then  emigrate  to  less  arid environments.
  3. A  few  individuals  with  denser fur  survive the  coldest  days  of  an  ice  age  ?  the  reproducing survivors all have long fur.
  4. Fish that swim the fastest in running water  catch the most prey and more easily escape predation.
