Group of answer choices

A species wants to move to a new environment.
An individual reaches reproductive age.
An inherited trait helps an organism survive and reproduce.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

In nature, it's all about survival of the fittest. Organisms with better fitness levels and better traits that help them prevail even during hard times are the goal. They are constantly adapting to their changing environments to ensure that their offspring can have the best characteristics.

If an organism inherits a "good" trait that helps it survive and reproduce, it will be more likely for this species to adapt to this trait in order to have better fitness  because this way, they are less likely to die out.

Thus, the answer is D.

Hope this helps!
