In an imagined transduction experiment with alleles a+, b+, and c+, a+ alone was transduced into an auxotroph 1400 times, b+ alone 1200 times, and c+ alone 970 times

Genes a+ and b+ were both found 10 times, b+ and c+ 2 times, and a+ and c+ one time. What can you conclude? A) Cotransduction is too infrequent to be used to map genes. B) Genes a and c cotransduce only accidentally. C) Genes a and b are more closely linked than a and c or b and c. D) Genes a and c are found together only if double crossovers have occurred. E) Transduction of gene c is very rare.
