Answer: The answer is B

Explanation: In humans as well as other animals will notice an increase in sensory input when they are deaf or blind. So when animals live in total darknes, eventually they will no longer even have eyes and gain better hearing for their surroundings. There is a type of fish like this in a recently discovered cave that before then was completely sealed off and was in total darkness.
