Question

Cindy Flores · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : E, Explanation :  High intraspecific competition is not an adaptation that contributes to the biological success of insects. Instead, adaptations like diverse body plans, the ability to fly, high reproductive capacity, and mechanisms for offense and defense (e.g., cryptic coloration) enhance their survival and proliferation. High intraspecific competition typically reduces individual fitness and is a challenge that organisms must overcome, rather than an adaptation that contributes to success.
