Some weed species have developed the ability to resist pesticides. How does the theory of evolution by natural selection help to explain his ability?

a
The weeds chose pesticide-resistant variations because their survival depended on it.
b
Due to genetic variations, some weeds in the population had the ability to resist pesticides.
c
As the weeds evolved, natural selection resulted in an unfavorable variation in a population.
d
In any population of weeds, some weeds will naturally be immune to all kinds of pesticides.

b. Due to genetic variations, some weeds in the population had the ability to resist pesticides.
