A population of intestinal bacteria becomes resistant to a commonly prescribed antibiotic over time.

Reason: evolution is change in heritable traits (allele frequencies) in a population across generations. Antibiotic resistance arises when resistant variants (from mutation or gene transfer) increase in frequency by natural selection. The other examples are short-term physiological or behavioral responses, not genetic changes passed to future generations.
