Answer: best adapted to the environment

Explanation: fitness can be thought of as fit for purpose. The most fit for purpose organism is the one best adapted to its environment.

Nevertheless, all the options are characteristic of adaptation

It is not particularly useful to discuss natural selection in terms of individuals and not populations. An advantageous mutation in one individual is the theoretical starting point for a better adapted population, but adaptation happens in a population very slowly if at all if it depends on a single individual. The smaller the population, the higher the probability that the adaptation will be eliminated by chance.

Planets are classified in yhe domain _____<br>A. archaea<br>B. bacteria <br>C. eukarya​
Gelneren [198K]

Archaea means ancient, bacteria are, well, minuscule organisms that live everywhere, and eukarya are organisms with cells that have a nucleus as well as membrane-bound organelles... my best guess if it is planets you mean, then the answer would be archaea, if it is plants, like flowers or such, then it is eukarya.

I hope this helps!
