A
It will have offspring that adapt
B
It will die
C
It will attack other animals
D
It will seek out new life and new civilizations
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If an organism could not adapt to an external environment like temperature then it will dye soon or later because natural selection eliminates those organisms which are unable to adapt the changing environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -An organisms life processes start failing and its cells start to die if it can’t adapt to the external change.

Detailed explanation-3: -If it changes more rapidly, few adaptive walks will be completed, and the population will be poorly adapted most of the time. If it changes very rapidly selection may be inadequate to restore adaptation quickly enough, and the population will dwindle and eventually become extinct.
