Why is it said that evolution does not always mean progress?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because simple organisms can also be successful in their environment
Evolution means change in inherited characteristics over generations, not movement toward a fixed idea of superiority or complexity. A simple organism may be very well adapted to its environment and survive successfully, while a complex organism may not. Thus option A is correct. The other statements deny evolution, assume universal superiority, or wrongly restrict it to humans.
