Explanation:

Adaptation refers to the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce. It is a key concept in biology where organisms adjust to their environment over time. Options B (evolution is a broader process of change in species over generations), C (mutation is a change in genetic material), and D (variety is about differences in traits) do not directly match the definition of the ability to survive and reproduce as precisely as adaptation.
