If bed bugs had never been exposed to DDT in the 1950's and 1960's, how would you expect that to affect bed bugs' resistance to pyrethroids during the last decade?
A) Because bed bugs reproduce so rapidly, resistance to pyrethroids among bed bugs has become a major problem .
B) With the widespread use of DDT, pesticide-resistant mutations became much more common among bed bugs. The bed bugs passed that resistance on to future generations.
C) If some of the bed bugs carry the resistance mutations, those insects will be better able to survive and reproduce and will wind up passing the mutation on to their offspring.
D) Without the use of DDT, natural selection would not have favored any mutations that provided protection from pesticides; bed bugs would be more susceptible to today's chemicals.
