Question 1 of 5

Food sources are arguably one of the most important types of relationships in regards to survival of a species. For instance, if a prey species evolves to become faster over a period of time, the predator needs to adapt and evolve to keep using the prey as a reliable food source. Otherwise, the now faster prey will escape, and the predator will lose a food source and potentially go extinct. However, if the predator becomes faster itself, or evolves in another way like becoming stealthier or a better hunter, then the relationship can continue, and the predators will survive , Which theory / hypothesis explains this phenomenon?

A

Lamarck hypothesis

B

Natural Selection

C

Sexual selection

D

Red queen hypothesis
