The figure shows that the mean flowering time of descendant populations of the mustard plant growing after the severe 2000-2004 drought is shifted to the left, indicating that they flowered earlier in the season than predrought populations. This shift is not observed in the hybrid population, as their mean flowering time is similar to that of the predrought population. Therefore, option A is the correct statement. Option B and C are both incorrect as they state the opposite of the observed trend.
