  2. B. Organisms that are harmful to others
  3. C. Organisms that live in cold environments
  4. D. Organisms that require minimal resources

Answer

The correct option is Organisms that thrive in extreme conditions. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to suggest how organisms are adapted to the conditions in which they live using supplied information in the subtopic Communities.

Explanation

The correct option is Organisms that thrive in extreme conditions. Organisms that thrive in extreme conditions is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to suggest how organisms are adapted to the conditions in which they live using supplied information. This belongs to the subtopic Communities within Adaptations, interdependence and competition, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Communities.
