I choose B

Answer 1

The best choice is: Aspects of horse anatomy evolved over millions of years to suit their environment.

Horses, like all species, have undergone gradual evolutionary changes over long periods of time to adapt to their environments. This process takes place over millions of years rather than just a few generations. Therefore, your selection of B (which states "over hundreds of years") is not as accurate as the statement that encompasses millions of years.
