D) Carbon-based macromolecules are found in all life forms.

Explanation:

The carbon is the key element that is present in various macromolecules which are necessary for growth and development of the organisms. The four main types of carbon based molecules are carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. These are necessary for building up the body mass, transfer of genetic information from parents to offsprings, development of cell membrane and other physiological and anatomical functions.

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.
