Explanation / Answer

Answer: Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Each individual in a population exhibits different traits which is responsible for their differential success.

An organism can not spontaneously morph into another one to adapt to the prevailing conditions. If it contains the required genetic composition, it will exhibit the suitable adaptation. If it does not contain the required genetic information, it has to undergo mutations in order to produce the required phenotype. Hence it is not a spontaneous process.
