The theory of evolution, which was given by Charles Darwin, had a deep impact on the development of behaviorism in humans. The theory was first published in 1859 in a very popular book called means of natural selection ( The Origin of Species ).
In the book, Darwin went on to describe his principle of natural selection, which states that the species, which are able to adapt easily to the different environmental pressures are more likely to produce offspring through reproduction and thus pass along these characteristics.
In short, all the components of natural selection put together state that certain individuals are able to gain or acquire more resources as compared to the others based on some inherited traits, which give them this competitive advantage.
These individuals are those who are able to survive better and are likely to reproduce and have an offspring. These offspring, when they inherit the traits, which are successful from the parents, will continue this cycle of surviving and passing on the traits to the next generation.
Hence, a trait, which has evolved because of natural selection, is known as evolutionary adaptation. Usually they are confused to be physical characteristics but such adaptations can be behaviors too.
So, blank (a) can be filled with
. Blank (b) can be filled with 
. Blank (c) can be filled with 
and blank (d) can be filled with 
.
