A) They will learn to eat whatever plants exist in their area and escape from any new predators that arrive.
B) If the pronghorn population includes genetic variation that allows survival and reproduction in the new conditions, they will adapt.
C) If climate change is not too rapid, the pronghorn can produce new traits needed to survive and reproduce in the changed conditions.
