Which of the following scenarios BEST illustrates the process of evolution? * 1 point

A group of burrowing toads hibernates slightly deeper in the ground in response to colder winter temperatures. A mimic octopus can suddenly change color to hide from its predators.
A population of Canadian geese flies to a different wintering location in response to human development.
A population of intestinal bacteria becomes resistant to a commonly prescribed antibiotic over time.

A population of intestinal bacteria becoming resistant to a commonly prescribed antibiotic over time is the scenario that best illustrates the process of evolution. Evolution is the change in heritable characteristics of a population over successive generations. In this scenario, the bacteria population is undergoing a change in their characteristics (developing antibiotic resistance) over time, which is a classic example of evolution.
