If the Sierra newt produces a potent neurotoxin called tetrodoxotoxin that causes paralysis in animals that consume them, then a co-evolutionary response of their predators, the garter snake, might be: A. adaptation to a different food source B. developing the ability to produce a toxin that kills the newt C. increasing the speed at which the garter snake can sneak up on the newt D. developing resistance to tetrodoxotoxin
