Answer:
D variations in individuals are not heritable
Explanation:
Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.
Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.
Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.
Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock. Hence, the broken rocks are transported to another place where it decomposes and forms soil. Therefore weathering is important for soil formation
I believe the water treatment stated above is micron filtration. Micron filtration is a water treatment method where water is filtered through screens that have microscopic holes. The holes are measured in microns and the smaller the hole the more contaminants can be removed.

organisms are always in competition for resources such as food and water or simply just for space.
