Begin by understanding the key terms presented in the problem: adaptation, inheritance, mutation, and evolution.
Adaptation refers to the process by which organisms become better suited to their environment over time. It is not directly related to the passing of traits from parents to offspring.
Mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to new traits, but it is not the process of passing traits from parents to offspring.
Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations, but it encompasses more than just the passing of traits.
Inheritance is the correct term for the passing of traits from parents to offspring, as it involves the transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next.
