Answer: I and II

Explanation: so basically, when adaptation occurs, it usually happens over a long period of time due to climate, predators, etc. because of these adversities, Genetic mutations occur, helping that animal and its species as a whole survive, which checks number 2. number one is also correct because adaptation can not be predicted. it happens randomly at some point in time. 3 is incorrect because multiple offspring in a species could have adaptations that provide more of an advantage.
