What does adaptation mean in Evelyn's struggle?

Correct answer: Creating a new learning method according to the situation

Adaptation means adjusting one's method or behaviour to meet a changed condition while continuing to pursue a meaningful goal. In Evelyn's case, hearing loss made ordinary listening difficult, but she did not abandon music. With guidance, observation and persistent practice, she learned to notice sound through vibrations in different parts of her body and developed a new way of performing. Thus option A is correct: she created or adopted a learning method suited to her condition. Option B wrongly treats adaptation as surrender, while C suggests helpless dependence and D denies the central fact that she remained committed to art. Her adaptation combined practical change with courage, independence and determination.
