What is the process of changing the environment in which an organism lives called?

Habitat

Domestication

Domestication refers to the process of changing the environment in which an organism lives by intentional breeding and selection. Option A, Habitat, refers to the physical area in which an organism lives and is not directly related to changing the environment. Option C, Evolution, refers to the gradual changes and adaptations that occur in a population over time. Option D, Natural selection, is a mechanism of evolution in which certain traits become more prevalent in a population based on their fitness in the environment, but it does not involve actively changing the environment. Therefore, domestication is the most appropriate answer as it specifically refers to the process of deliberately altering an organism's environment.
