Boyd · Answer 1

A. Adaptation

Explanation:

Adaptation refers to the evolutionary process in which organisms undergo mutation or genetic change over many generations, which makes the organisms become better suited to multiply and survive in its habitat. The genetic mutation of Daphnia which makes them develop a trait that makes subsequent generations to prefer warmer environments is an example of adaptation of the organism to his environment.
