In a hypothetical environment, fishes called pike-cichlids are visual predators of algae-eating fish, i. e., they locate their prey by sight. If a population o algae eaters experiences predation pressure from pike-cichlids, which of the following would least likely be observed in the algae-eater population over the course of many generations? a. Female algae eaters may become larger, bearing broods composed of more, and larger young. b. The algae eaters may become sexually mature at smaller overall body sizesc. The algae eaters may become nocturnal (active only at night). d. Coloration of the algae eaters may become drab. e. The algae eaters may become faster swimmers
