Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question would be:
"A pond contains many different types of organisms. The table below lists some of these organisms and their methods of reproduction.
Organism Method of Reproduction
Pantala flavescens sperm and egg fusion
Spirodela polyrhiza budding
Naegleria fowleri binary fission
Hydra oligactis budding
Over time, the pond slowly becomes more acidic due to the release of chemicals from a nearby factory. Which of the organisms would most likely survive the change to their environment?"
Answer:
Hydra oligactis
Explanation:
Hydra oligactis is a species of hydra easily found in standing water environments in temperate zones in the northern hemisphere. These organisms are animals of the Hydridae family and have asexual reproduction, so a population of Hydra oligactis has low level of genetic variation. This low level of genetic variation helps these animals survive the sudden changes in their environment. For this reason, we can say that if the pond slowly becomes more acidic due to the release of chemicals from a nearby factory, Hydra oligactis is the organism most likely to survive.
