Multiple Choice

Although alarm calling benefits the whole group, it cannot be explained by group selection because

• B) calling reduces the risk of mortality for everyone who hears the call, changing the frequency of callers and noncallers in the population, because everyone benefits.
• C) noncallers benefit from the alarm call and will have higher fitness than the callers, so selection will suppress alarm calling.
• D) callers and noncallers have the same relative fitness.
