What term refers to the speed and ease with which an organism can learn?

Reflex
Natural selection
Acclimation
Intelligence

The correct answer is: Intelligence

The term "reflex" refers to an involuntary response to a stimulus, such as pulling your hand away from a hot stove. This does not necessarily involve learning. "Natural selection" refers to the process by which certain traits become more common in a population due to their ability to increase an organism's chances of survivability and reproduction. This has nothing to do with an individual organism's ability to learn. "Acclimation" refers to the process of becoming accustomed to something, typically a change in the environment. While this can involve learning, it is not the same as the speed and ease with which an organism can learn. The term "intelligence" refers to an individual's ability to learn, reason, and solve problems. It encompasses both the speed and ease with which an organism can learn, making it the correct answer to this question.
