hi, could you explain why the answer is B, can it also be A? the way I interpreted the passage, the answer can be A and B. Thank you.

It is true that both A and B describe characteristics of green foxtails as described in the passage. The question is: which of the following would suggest that many different foxtails may have come from the green foxtail?

A: the green foxtail is self-pollinating

or

B: the green foxtail has many different shapes/looks (morphologically heterogenous)

I don't see how A is relevant. However, the many different shapes/looks (B) certainly infers that, over time, different foxtails may evolve.

I hope that helps.
