Following statements are regarding to the FOXO3a protein.

A. In the presence of growth factors, FOXO3a is non phosphorylated and mainly localizes to the nucleus, where it activates transcription of several genes encoding pro-apoptotic proteins.

B. When growth factors are removed from the cells, PKB becomes active and phosphorylates FOXO3a.

C. Phosphorylated FOXO3a binds to cytosolic phosphoserine-binding protein 14-3-3 to bind FOXO3a and thus sequester it in the cytosol.

D. Dephosphorylated FOXO3a binds to cytosolic phosphoserine-binding protein 14-3-3 to bind FOXO3a and thus sequester it in the cytosol.

The herbaceous plant Achillea lanulosa is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Phenotypic variation in the species has been extensively studied along an altitudinal gradient from sea level to over 3,000 meters. In California there is conspicuous variation in  height; alpine plants are only several centimeters tall  while  those in  the San Joaquin Valley may reach a height of 1.8 meters. Adaptation to different local environments also results in variation in physiological processes such as photosynthetic rate, resistance to cold, and the timing of dormancy.

The genetic polymorphism found in Achillea lanulosa is most likely maintained primarily by
