Answer:
If an organism has a beneficial trait, they have a higher chance of survival, and if they can survive they can reproduce too.
Example: Speckled moths camouflage with the bark of trees and are not easily seen by predators. Black moths do not camouflage with the bark of trees and are easily seen by predators, therefore the black moths are eaten. Because the black moths have been eaten they cannot reproduce and pass on the trait for black wings to their offspring, but the speckled moths are able to reproduce because they survived and are able to pass on the speckled wing trait to their offspring.

I think that the correct answer to this question is D .
Answer:
The options are:
A. Gravel
B. Sand
C. Silt
D. Clay
E. Mud
The answer is A. Gravel
Explanation:
Meiofauna are small benthic invertebrates which live in aquatic habitat. They are suited for both marine and fresh water environments.
Gravel aren’t tightly packed together in large quantities when compared with the other options such as sand, silt, clay, mud. This makes it possible for more aeration and the presence of more oxygen at the soft-bottomed intertidal community.
