D. Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that have no effect on how the organisms survive in their environment.

Answer:

B. Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that better help the organisms to survive in their environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adaptations are traits resulting from these changes that better help the organisms to survive in their environment.

Imagine a population of rabbits that all have white fur. Over several generations, changes in the rabbits' gene pool results in the population having brown rabbits, black rabbits, and white rabbits. The brown rabbits blend in better with their surroundings than do the white and black rabbits. This makes it easier for the brown rabbits to hide from predators and survive. The trait of brown fur color in this population of rabbits is an adaptation because it better helps the rabbits survive than do the traits of black or white fur color
