During the period when aurochs existed on Earth, they were preyed on by large predators. Some individual aurochs had stronger muscles than others. Using an understanding of natural selection, which statement explains why there would most likely be an increase in the stronger-muscle trait in a population of aurochs?

• Individuals with stronger muscles have a large body mass, and they would be preyed on more than other aurochs.

• Since having stronger muscles is an inherited trait, it would be passed on to every individual in the population that was not preyed on.

• Individuals with stronger muscles would be more likely to run away from predators, and this trait would be passed on to their future offspring.

• Since having stronger muscles would require individuals to consume more food, they would be more exposed to predators than the other aurochs.
