Question

how do these data best support the scientific theory of evolution?

• by showing that scientists can observe changes in biogeography that affect where guppies live
• by showing that guppy populations can have observable responses to specific predator species
• by showing that scientists can compare various types of anatomical features in different guppy populations

Explanation:

The graph shows guppy population responses under different predation levels over time. Evolution theory involves populations adapting (responding) to environmental pressures (like predation). The second option focuses on guppy populations’ observable responses to specific predator species, which aligns with evolutionary adaptation (changes in populations over time due to environmental factors like predation). The first option is about biogeography (where they live), not direct evolutionary response. The third is about anatomical features comparison, not shown here.

Answer:

by showing that guppy populations can have observable responses to specific predator species
