The likely reason Elizabeth Clare and her team used a group of naked mole rats that had been in one room for many generations is:
b. The DNA would have spread out and been more difficult to obtain.
Using a confined group of the same species that have been together for generations can help control for genetic diversity and allows for easier sampling and study of their DNA.
