The correct answer is co-adaptation.
Co-adaptation in biology refers to the procedure by which two or more species, phenotypic traits or genes go through adaptation as a group or pair. This takes place when two or more associating features go through natural selection together in response to the similar selective pressure or when selective pressures change one feature and simultaneously changes the interactive feature. These associating features are only beneficial when together, in certain cases resulting in increased interdependence.
By process of elimination you can find the right answer. We know for a fact that carbon is found in all living organisms. That is why we talk about carbon based life forms. So the first statement cannot be true. You can figure out how many Valence electrons an element has by looking at the group number. The group number of carbon is 4 so the 2nd statement cannot be true. We know that carbon does bond with other elements because it is not a noble gas and therefore must be able to form compounds.
This means the answer must be they can form up to four covalent bonds
I think that the answer is: D)
Venus and Mercury have no satellites
