The most appropriate response is:
**The positive effects outweigh the negative effects in certain environments.**
This response explains that while there may be negative consequences, the advantages provided by an enlarged right ventricle (such as increased oxygen intake) can be significant enough to enhance survival or reproductive success in specific environments, leading to the trait being favored by natural selection despite its drawbacks.
