o a r change that alters the gene pool of a population
the process of finding a new habitat due to an environmental stress
o an inherited trait that increases the survival and reproduction of organisms that bear it

Explanation:

• Adaptation is a biological concept.
• It is an inherited trait (not a learned behavior or a random change altering the gene pool in a non - specific way related to survival).
• It specifically aids in the survival and reproduction of organisms that possess it (not just finding a new habitat which is more about habitat change rather than the core definition of adaptation).

Answer:

an inherited trait that increases the survival and reproduction of organisms that bear it
