Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
In the year 2500, five male space colonists and five female space colonists (all unrelated to each other) settle on an uninhabited Earthlike planet in the Andromeda galaxy.

The allele for free earlobes is dominant to the allele for attached earlobes.
-Mountains also have an unmatched power to drive human evolution. Starting tens of thousands of years ago, people moved to high altitudes, and there they experienced natural selection that has reworked their biology. In Tibet, for example, people have broader arteries and capillaries. In the Andes, they can dissolve more oxygen into their blood. These different traits of people who live in high altitudes illustrate

A) stabilizing evolution.
B) sexual selection.
C) adaptive evolution.
