As the "necessity for combat decrease" surely necessity for jaw will also decrease
Hence C is the correct answer

In 1st line, "As a result" implies "Constant/More combat = bigger Jaw"... We can also extrapolate from here "Lesser combat= smaller Jaw"

2nd line tells, Necessity decreased for combat, Hence, According to our extrapolation, The size of Jaw also should be reduced."

Since "Reduced" is given as choice. So we don't need to cross check other options. That's a pretty easy one.
