C. The f allele is more common.
If long fur helps guinea pigs survive better and reproduce successfully, over time, the allele associated with long fur (let’s assume it’s the F allele for long fur and f for short fur) will become more common in the population. This is because individuals with the F allele are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation, which leads to an increase in the frequency of the F allele in future generations. Therefore, the f allele (which leads to short fur) would become less common as more individuals with long fur thrive and reproduce.
