Which conclusion can be best supported by the image?

• Due to the presence of pesticide, there has been a change in allele frequencies in the insect population.

• The pesticide acted on the phenotypic color of the insects.

• The pesticide had little to no effect on the insect population.

• Due to the pesticide, there has been an increase in speciation within the insect population.

There are many plant species who rely on color-blind animals to eat their fruits. Animals will eat the fruits, but the tough seeds are not digested. The benefit to the plant is that the animal will spread the seeds in other areas through its droppings (poop). Since these animals are color-blind, the plants produce fruits that are more smelly (rather than colorful) and those animals tend to have an inherited heightened sense of smell.
