Solution

The correct option is A population
Adaptation is the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. These can be of many types- One being morphological adaptation. Here the organisms aquire physical changes or changes in their morphology to adapt to its environment. For eg. the blubber in whales. Other adaptations are physiological and behavioral. Physiological adaptations are changes in the physiology of the organism to adapt to the environment. For eg. CAM pathway in plants. Behavioral adaptations are things organisms do to adapt to their environment, that is penguins huddle together to keep warm and survive the harsh winter. Similarly kangaroo rats that are adapted to live in hot and dry desert conditions do not come out in the day when the weather is harsh, but come out at night when it is cooler.
