    The correct answer will be - sexual reproduction

    Explanation:

    An organism can reproduce by either of two ways of reproduction called asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

    Both modes of reproduction prove beneficial to the organism but based on the environmental condition, the organism use either sexual mode or asexual mode or both.

    In the given condition, since the organism has to adapt and evolve in response to the desert conditions which requires changes in the DNA sequences which can take place only during the mechanism of sexual reproduction like crossing over or genetic recombination, therefore, sexual reproduction is the correct answer.
