A, but may not be correct
Answer - Genetic Engineering (Confidently Correct)
Reason - With Technology we can change the genetics of a species and help it adapt to it env. to survive longer and reproduce.
Answer: Pretty sure (D) is the right answer.
Explanation: Plants consume water, carbon dioxide, and light from the sun to produce oxygen and to survive. The other options have the incorrect input which give it away, they also have wrong outputs that plants do not produce.
The mother may feel guilty about her child's condition because she may think that the child had that disease genetically from one or both of his or her parents. The mother may exhibit signs of self-blaming because she feels like it is her fault that her child is suffering from the disease. The healthcare practitioner should approach the mother in a biopsychosocial approach wherein the mother is allowed to vent out (catharsis), then the healthcare practitioner should make things clearer (educate), and then have the appropriate action given.
There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
