Which of the following results would best support the conclusion that natural selection is influencing the presence of this allele in the tomcod populations? A. All of the tomcod in each of the rivers have this allele.

B. The percentage of tomcod with this allele remains the same from year to year in each river.

C. The rivers with high PCB levels have larger percentages of tomcod with this allele than the rivers without PCBs.
