The variety of environmental conditions which an organism survives and reproduces is called
A
adaptation
B
microbiome
C
tolerance
D
optimum range
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The range of variation under which a species can function and reproduce is called its tolerance range. Some organisms possess a wide range of tolerance for some environmental conditions, but most survive best within a narrower range called their optimum range.

Detailed explanation-2: -(Capacity of an organism to tolerate certain conditions or changes to its environment, due to physiological and morphological properties.

Detailed explanation-3: -We quantify a species’ tolerance as the change in strength of mutualistic interaction that species can sustain before becoming extinct.

Detailed explanation-4: -It states that an organism’s success is based on a complex set of conditions and that each organism has a certain minimum, maximum, and optimum environmental factor or combination of factors that determine success.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conditions that are most favorable for an organism to survive, grow and reproduce. This optimum is somewhere WITHIN the RANGE OF TOLERANCE for that organism. If an animal has a range of tolerance for temperature of 0-85 degree F somewhere within that temperature range will be the temperature that the animal grows BEST.
