The presence of useless eyes on a mole rat is evidence of c) the theory of evolution. This is because the existence of traits that are no longer beneficial or functional can be explained by evolutionary processes, such as natural selection and adaptation to specific environments. In the case of mole rats, their underground habitat makes eyesight less useful, leading to reduced functionality in their eyes over generations.
