The correct answer is Option (3) → adapt
-
Adapt (Verb): To make (something) suitable for a new use or purpose; to become adjusted to new conditions. This perfectly describes the biological ability of animals to change over time in response to their surroundings.
-
Invert (Verb): To put upside down or in the opposite position, order, or arrangement. (Incorrect)
-
Accept (Verb): To consent to receive (a thing offered); to believe or come to recognize (an idea) as valid or correct. While animals accept their environment, adapt is more precise biological term for adjusting to survive. (Less suitable)
-
Avert (Verb): To turn away (one's eyes or thoughts); to prevent or ward off (an undesirable occurrence). (Incorrect)
