Answer:
D, organisms that survive long enough to reproduce.
Explanation:
C and D are the best answers. Adaptations and skills other than speed and strength contribute to an organism's survival too, so that means it isn't C. Natural Selection is about how an organism must have useful traits to survive to reproductive stage and successfully reproduce, so it would definitely be D.

effect is from the modification of land surfaces. Waste heat generated by energy usage is a secondary contributor.
Any characteristic, whether a physical trait, a behaviour, a physiological adaptation etc can make an organism more or less likely to survive in a particular environment.
A dark colour could help a rabbit survive if it lives in a dark forest, because predators can't see it so well, but it would be less likely to survive in the arctic, where the environment is all white and it would show up.
In terms of the characteristics, think about: does it help the organism get food? Does it help protect the organism from predators? If it does, that organism is more likely to survive, and pass the characteristic on to it's offspring. If a bacterium has a characteristic of not being killed by antibiotics, this will help it to survive and breed.
