The most accurate statement describing the population after parasite exposure is:
"Individuals whose phenotype resisted the parasite increased in frequency."
This reflects natural selection, where individuals with traits that provide resistance to the parasite are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to an increase in those resistant traits in the population.
