Salinity refers to an increase in the dissolved salt content of a body of water. Salinity has great impacts on the type of organisms that live inside the water. In the question given above, the salinity occurs as a result of non natural influence; since most of the organisms living inside the water before probably have specific optimal salinity range, if the salinity exceed the range they can cope with, they will probably migrate away from the water, those that refuse to migrate will probably die out and new species which can cope with the salinity level will emerge.
Answer: D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.
Explanation:
Synaptic pruning is a natural process between early childhood and adulthood which occurs in the brain. The brain removes the extra synapses during synaptic pruning. Synapses are brain structures that allow the neurons to transmit to another neuron an electrical or chemical signal.
Synaptic pruning is thought to help the brain transition from adolescence, when it can quickly learn and make new connections, to adulthood, when it is much more stable in its structure, but can concentrate on a single question for longer and conduct more complex thinking processes. Synaptic pruning make brain more adaptive to the external environment in early ages.
Hence, the correct option is D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.
