A strawberry farmer finds that, after a hard freeze, some of his strawberries are still alive. Which best explains why some of these strawberries were able to survive?

• They had larger leaves to protect the fruit than some other strawberries. 
• They have different genetic variations that cause them to be more resistant to cold temperatures.  
• They are able to reproduce more quickly than the others. 
• The color of the strawberries is darker and they maintain their temperature better than the other strawberries.
