B
adaptation
C
variation
D
selection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An adaptation is any heritable trait that helps an organism, such as a plant or animal, survive and reproduce in its environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -To scientists, an adaptation is any characteristic that helps an organism survive or reproduce. Adaptations can be physical as well as behavioral. Most adaptations happen slowly-they are traits that are inherited over many generations.

Detailed explanation-4: -An adaptation is a feature that arose and was favored by natural selection for its current function. Adaptations help an organism survive and/or reproduce in its current environment.
