Trait B is more likely to have arisen earlier because  it has higher percentage  of the population  and in asexual reproduction, traits are carried over to the next generation with minimal changes in the traits.

For example, all the sugarcanes in the field which reproduce asexually, have almost similar characteristics, however, the animals and human which reproduce sexually, have more changes of traits in the next generation.
