What does adaptability mean?

Correct answer: Learning and adjusting according to change

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Adaptability means the ability to respond sensibly when conditions, technology, duties or workplace expectations change. It does not mean accepting every change blindly; it means learning what is needed, adjusting behaviour and continuing useful work. The reasoning is: a situation changes; the old method may no longer be enough; the person learns or changes the method; the person then works effectively in the new situation. Option A correctly describes learning and adjusting according to change. Option B is wrong because fear of every change prevents learning and adjustment. Option C is wrong because refusing to learn new skills is the opposite of adaptability. Option D is wrong because leaving work is not a necessary or positive response to change. Adaptability is valuable in modern work because occupations, tools and customer needs can change. Memory cue: adapt means ‘adjust and continue’, not ‘run away’.
