What do evolutionary models suggest about the effect of epistatic deleterious muta-tions (i.e., they act synergistically to produce greater damage than the sum of each mu-tation's individual effect)?

a. Recombination is favored as it disrupts epistatic interactions of deleterious alleles.
b. There is no effect when epistasis is strong.
c. Recombination is detrimental as it helps to spread deleterious alleles.
d. Recombination has no effect on epistatic interactions.
e. B and D.
