The correct response is: The positive effects appear after reproductive age in certain environments.
This explanation supports the idea that natural selection can lead to adaptations that have both positive and negative effects. If the positive effects enhance survival or reproductive success before or during reproductive age, while the negative effects manifest later in life (after reproductive age), those individuals may pass on their genes to the next generation before facing the detrimental effects. This can lead to the prevalence of certain traits that offer advantages, despite their potential downsides.
