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

By reducing low-growing plants from an area, the tortoises with the ability to extend their neck a long distance would have an advantage in reaching higher vegetation, leading to an increase in their population proportion. On the other hand, tortoises with only short distance neck extension abilities may struggle to reach the remaining vegetation and may experience a decrease in their population proportion over time.
