Solution

The correct option is B False
  • There are some changes that can happen in an organism over a short period to help them adjust to some changes in its surroundings.
  • Such small changes that take place in the body of a single organism over short periods, to overcome small problems due to changes in the surroundings, are called acclimatization.
  • These changes are different from the adaptations that can take place over hundreds of years.

Hence, the given statement is false.
