Compare old map unit distance separating genes

Question: Suppose that several years ago you mapped two genes: A and B. You discovered that they were 12 map units apart. Since that time other analyzers have mapped several other genes in the area between genes A and B, and the current map of that chromosome shows genes A, B, and several intervening genes. When you compare your old map unit distance separating genes A and B with the current one:

A. both distances are identical

B. the old map unit distance is greater

C. the new map unit distance is greater
