24.The bodies of dwarf individuals of mammalian species are generally smaller in relation to those of nondwarf individuals than are the teeth of the dwarf individuals in relation to those of the nondwarf individuals.

　　(B)None of the teeth of the dwarf woolly mammoth that were recently discovered was as large as any of the teeth of nondwarf woolly mammoths that have been discovered.

　　(C)The teeth of most adult dwarf individuals of mammalian species are three- fourths the size of the teeth of the adult nondwarf individuals of the same species.

　　(D)Dwarf woolly mammoths had the same number of teeth as did nondwarf woolly mammoths.

　　(E)Dwarf individuals of most mammalian species are generally no more than three-fourths the

size of the adult nondwarf individuals of those species.
