Answer: D. A gradual change of the traits of an organism over time.
Explanation:
A natural selection is a phenomena that was proposed by Charles Darwin. In this he proposed the fact that of differential survival and reproduction of living beings who have better phenotypic traits over the others. These traits are passed from the parents to their offsprings. These traits are beneficial for the survival in adverse environments. The development of new traits with respect to the environment occurs gradually with time.
Answer: The first and the fourth figure is showing the two stages of metamorphosis in beetle. The first figure represents the adult stage of beetle and the last figure represents the larvae stage of beetle. Metamorphosis is the biological process by which an organism goes through differentiation of cells. As a result of this differentiation the structure of the organism changes from one to another. There are four stages egg, larvae, pupa, adult.
The second figure shows regeneration in cnidaria. They repair their body and reproduce asexually by this process. They show two stages polyp and medusae. Medusae have less ability to regenerate but poly stage can regenerate from small parts. This ability helps corals to heal back after being destroyed by predators.
The third figure represents cow and this is an unique feature of mammals to produce milk by their mammary gland. During the lactation period the cow produces milk that is used by cattle and human beings.
Both of the above because they belong to the same principle. I hope this helps!

Answer:
is the process of water moving through a plant.
Explanation:
Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.
