Answer: <u><em>D. An observation that has a number associated with it</em></u>
Explanation: The answer is D. An observation that has a number associated with it. I would explain further, but it is pretty self explanatory.
<em>Good luck!</em>
Mutations and natural selection cause adaptations. Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations.
Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment.
A mutation is an alteration of the DNA sequence. Sometimes such alterations code for the same amino acid sequence as the unaltered DNA strand during protein synthesis. In such a circumstance, the mutation is not detectable. However, other mutations alter the genetic code in such a way that a noticeable change in the trait that is associated with that gene is visible. Sometimes such mutations are advantageous and improve the organism's ability to survive in its environment.
Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more advantageous traits (being camouflaged, being covered with the correct outer covering for the temperatures of that environment, stronger/ larger/ or faster to fight off or run from predators, etc.) are more likely to survive in a particular environment. Likewise, organisms less advantageous traits are more likely to die due to the pressures exerted by the environment (such as temperature, predators, illness, etc.). Therefore, the organisms with the advantageous traits that survive are more likely to survive to find a mate and reproduce. Thus, the advantageous traits are passed down to future generations.

Answer: Movement along fault line
Explanation:
Here's the remainder of the question:
Which map best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years?
A transform fault is simply refered to a as a fault that occurs along the plate boundary such that the motion in such case is horizontal and ends when there's a connection with another plate boundary.
Based on the question, the map that best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years will be a movement along fault line.
The answer is <span>the number of DNA mutations in an organism is measured over time to determine how long it will take for a new species to evolve.</span>
