enyata [817]

Answer: The correct answer for the first question is- B) Mechanical.

Adaptation can be described as a process of change in an organism over time that facilitates its survival in the changing environmental conditions. It results due to mutation or genetic change in the individual that gives a benefit to the organism. It exhibits change in structure ( like succulent plants in desert), function, or behavior.
