Answer:

C.

It causes changes in organisms to help them in their everyday lives.

Step-by-step explanation:

When conditions change, some species possess adaptations that allow them to survive and reproduce, while others do not. If the environment changes slowly enough, species will sometimes evolve the necessary adaptations, over many generations.
