Cane toads are large, poisonous frogs native to Central and South America. They were introduced in Australia in 1935 in an attempt to control the beetle population in the sugarcane fields. Since then, their speed has increased significantly. According to recent studies, scientists have determined that they now have longer legs, are more active, and are larger in size than their ancestors in Central and South America. Which statement best explains why the cane toads in Australia move more quickly than their ancestors? O A The cane toads in Australia were likely introduced to a new food source allowing them to grow longer legs and larger in size and speed. These traits were then passed onto offspring B. The cane toads both in Australia and in Central and South America are born with similar traits, but the cane toads in Central and South America keep their original traits, and the cane toads in Australia have more space to roam so they grow longer legs and larger in size C. Over time cane toads in Australia had more space to roam and less predators, so they stretched their legs to increase leg length, size, and speed and passed these traits on to their offspring O D Over time, cane toads in Australia that were born with longer legs were more active, and were larger in size were more likely to survive and passed these traits on to their offspring​
