How are adaptations beneficial to organisms? a. adaptations are developed by individual organisms through the use of certain body parts to accomplish particular tasks. b. adaptations allow organisms to tolerate dramatic changes in their environment (such as when a lake dries up). c. adaptations organisms survive and reproduce in any environment, such that organisms can easily move into different environments. d. adaptations organisms survive and reproduce in a particular environment.

D. Adaptations help organisms survive and reproduce in a particular environment.

Explanation:

An adaptation can be define as the changes that occur in the behavior, structure and physiology of the organism so that organism become suited to survive and reproduce in the adverse environment. Adaptation results due to evolution of the living organisms through the process of natural selection as a result of interaction of the organism with the changing or unsuitable environment.

they have identical fossils of organisms that have evolved over time.

both have animal fossils preserved in them due to weathering and erosion.

they contain different fossils because life on earth has changed through time.

the fossils in them were formed on the surface of earth due to exposure to sunlight.
