What type of species are the fittest?

Those most likely to survive
Those that can reproduce the fastest
Those with the most successful progeny
Those most capable of adapting to their environment

The correct answer is: Those most capable of adapting to their environment

The concept of "survival of the fittest" is often associated with Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. While it is commonly misunderstood to mean that the strongest or most physically fit organisms will survive, it actually refers to the most adaptable or well-suited to their environment. This means that while options A, B, and C may play a role in an organism's fitness, the most important factor is their ability to adapt and thrive in their specific environment. Therefore, option D is the most accurate answer.
