The state has stopped evolving
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It has been argued that human evolution has stopped because humans now adapt to their environment via cultural evolution and not biological evolution. However, all organisms adapt to their environment, and humans are no exception.

Detailed explanation-2: -The given statement is True. The evolution does not stop in an organism, and it continues to evolve throughout its lifetime. Every population of species undergoes some sort of evolution, and it varies from one species to another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Humans have never stopped evolving and continue to do so today. Evolution is a slow process that takes many generations of reproduction to become evident. Because humans take so long to reproduce, it takes hundreds to thousands of years for changes in humans to become evident.

Detailed explanation-4: -Within years, many animals and plants will go extinct. Most of these will go extinct because the shorter-lived organisms on which they depend will have non-evolved themselves into extinction.
