Over time all animals (and plants) develop adaptations that help them ____
A
develop new adaptations
B
thrive and survive
C
change the way they interact with their environment
D
change their behaviors
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolutionary adaptation, or simply adaptation, is the adjustment of organisms to their environment in order to improve their chances at survival in that environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptations are inheritable characteristics that increase an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in an environment. Adaptations can help an organism find food and water, protect itself, or manage in extreme environments.

Detailed explanation-3: -This happens by the process of natural selection. By natural selection, the nature of the species gradually changes to become adapted to the niche. If a species becomes very well adapted to its environment, and if the environment does not change, species can exist for a very long time before they become extinct.
