A team of scientists collected mosquitofish from two ponds. The first pond had predators present. The second pond had no predators present. The scientists put the two types of fish into an environment with predators and measured the fishes' escape speed and overall survival. The results are in the graphs below.

Which of the following conclusions most strongly supports the results of this study?
(1 point)
The two populations maintained identical adaptations despite the number of predators.
The two populations maintained identical adaptations despite their geographic separation.
The two populations developed different adaptations because they were reproductively isolated
The two populations developed different adaptations because they evolved from different ancestral species
