B) Learning will only lead to breeding in the good habitat 50% of the time, so it will not be favored.
C) In a fixed world, there is no relationship between past experience and future conditions, so learning is not beneficial.
D) Learning is too costly in a fixed world.
E) The benefits of learning in a fixed world are too unpredictable.
