(C) "Population that has variable gluten levels (high and low) regardless of soil quality" is where you should sample to maximize the likelihood that your new strain has alleles for high gluten.
The degree to which genetic variations among persons may adequately explain the variations in their attributes is known as heritability. Characteristics like height, eye color, and IQ are examples of traits, as are illnesses like schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder.
Heritability is to blame for it. Heritability is a measurement of the extent to which genetic variations contribute to the phenotypic variance of a characteristic in the progeny:
It is measured from 0 to 1
H2 = Vg/Vp
Vg = Genetic variation
Vp = Vg + Ve
Ve = Environmental variation
So if the environmental variation is low, Heritability will be high.

Question correction:
You would like to produce a strain of wheat that has alleles for high gluten content by artificially selecting for high gluten in an existing population. From which population should you sample to maximize the likelihood that your new strain has alleles for high gluten?
A. Population with high gluten when grown with fertilizer, but low gluten when grown in normal soil.
B. Population that always has average gluten levels regardless of soil quality
C. Population that has variable gluten levels (high and low) regardless of soil quality
D. Population with low gluten levels regardless of soil quality.
