Help with Bio?

A population of deer was threatened with overpopulation until cheetahs were imported. After a couple of years, there were fewer deer but the average running speed of the deer had increased. This is an example of





a. natural selection.





b. inheritance of acquired characteristics.





c. induced mutation.





d. mutation.





e. genetic drift.

Help with Bio?
A) when the cheetahs were introduced, those deer who were fast enough to escape the predator (deer) survived and reproduced. They passed down that favorable trait of great speed.





This is an example of natural selection.
Reply:a. but the importing of cheetahs isn't natural. It was a bad example but it is definitely A.
