The correct answer is A. Scientists reintroducing crested toads into the wild.

Explanation

Species Survival Plan is a conservation program promoted by conservationists and zoologists that specializes in those animals that are near extinct, endangered, or threatened. This program mainly aims to breed these species in captivity to ensure their future preservation and reintroduction to nature. According to the above, the effect that could be expected from the implementation of the Species Survival Plan in Puerto Rico with the crested toads would be the reintroduction of this species into the wild after being bred in captivity.

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).
