(1 point)

an unfavorable genetic trait that would be passed to the next generation

a favorable genetic trait that would be passed to the next generation

an over - productive trait that would not be passed to the next generation

an inherited variation trait that would not be passed to the next generation

Explanation:

The seal's skin color change (brown to white in winter) increases its survival, so this is a favorable genetic trait. Favorable traits that enhance survival are typically passed to the next generation. The other options are incorrect: "unfavorable" is wrong as it helps survival; "over - productive" and "not passed" don't fit as this is a heritable, beneficial trait.

Answer:

B. a favorable genetic trait that would be passed to the next generation
