B. The proportion of tortoises with the ability to extend their neck long distance would increase.

If low growing plants are reduced from an area, it would likely result in taller vegetation dominating the environment. In this case, tortoises with the ability to extend their neck a longer distance would have an advantage as they would be able to reach the taller vegetation and access food resources. This advantage would likely lead to an increase in the proportion of tortoises with the ability to extend their neck long distance. On the other hand, tortoises with the ability to only extend their neck a short distance would struggle to reach the taller vegetation and may have a harder time finding enough food to survive, making them less successful in terms of survival and reproduction. However, it does not necessarily mean that the variety of tortoises with the ability to extend their neck a short distance would go extinct or that the proportion of these tortoises would increase. The wording of option D is incorrect.
