Populations cannot develop helpful adaptations because of the interaction between genetic drift and natural selection.
b
Populations do not develop helpful or harmful adaptations from genetic drift or natural selection.
c
Populations develop helpful adaptations because of genetic drift and harmful adaptations from natural selection.
d
Populations develop helpful adaptations because of the interaction between genetic drift and natural selection.

d. Populations develop helpful adaptations because of the interaction between genetic drift and natural selection.
