A. True. Natural selection is believed to be the leading cause for antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Bacteria that have a genetic mutation that makes them resistant to antibiotics are more likely to survive and reproduce than bacteria that do not have this mutation, leading to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains.
