Solution

The correct option is D Antibiotic resistance
Evolution can be brought about naturally by phenomena such as natural selection, gene flow, genetic drift and mutation. Artificial selection by man could also result in evolution. Antibiotic resistance however, is apparently, a specific example of evolution in bacteria, and does not occur universally to any random species.
