Answer: Option B. Individuals adjust their physiology in response to changes in their environment (like changes in temperature or precipitation).

Explanation: This is the correct answer because acclimation is a temporary change. Acclimation is done when organism is going to be taken to the outer environment which is harsh by making the organism adjustable; by providing certain conditions such as treating with some chemical or protein. The environmental changes are sometimes not acceptable by the organism so adjustment is necessary otherwise they will not survive in the environment.
