According to Charles Darwin's theory of Evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.

One word answer:Adaptation:
B, ocean trenches are formed after a underwater volcano has erupted.<span />
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5500 years.
The original mass is 30 g and the new mass is 3.75 g.
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives;
3.75 = 30 × (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
n = 3
Thus, the time taken will be; 3 × 5500 = 16500 years.
