Answer: the wasp’s stinger - protection against predators
the peacock’s bright plumage - attraction to obtain a mate
the owl’s large eyes - help to search for food
the bear’s fur - maintain homeostasis
Explanation:
An adaptation can be define as any change that occurs in the morphology, physiology and genetic make up of the organism which makes it suitable for survival in it's natural environment even in adverse conditions and reproduce.
The following are the adaptations with their benefits.

The owl's large eyes allows the night vision. There are many rods and cones present in the eyes of the owl so as to allow better vision in night and allow it to observe and capture prey.
the bear’s fur - maintain homeostasis
The bear's fur are insulating in nature that means it does not allow the entry of external air. Hence, helps in retaining the heat in the body in otherwise cold environment. Therefore, helps in maintaining the homeostasis (the tendency of the body retain it's constant internal environment as compared to changing external environment).
