Hi all,

I'm a bit confused on how the answer is not D. I chose it with the following thought-process:
1. The position being challenged is the assumption that "only the most highly evolved species alter their environment in ways that aid their own survival."
2. The plankton example serves as the counterexample as mentioned in the answer choice.
3. The position being incorrect is implied in the stimulus with the sentence with the counter, "this characteristic is actually quite common."

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi sid - the answer for number 12 is indeed answer choice (D)! Maybe you were accidentally looked at the answer for number 11 instead? Your explanation for why (D) is correct looks good to me.

Nice going on that one!
