Multiple Choice
This figure shows the tail shape developed by three tadpole genotypes (M, N, and O) when raised in an environment with predators and an environment without predators. In the presence of predators, tadpoles with large tails have high fitness and tadpoles with small tails have low fitness.

Which genotype(s) exhibit(s) phenotypic plasticity in response to predators?
A) M only
B) N only
C) O only
D) both M and N
E) both N and O
