For number 2, your answer will be B because when he said "survival of the fittest", he meant that organisms with the correct adaptations for survival would live and reproduce, passing those adaptations down the line.
For number 3, your answer will be D because, like I said above, animals that have advantageous traits will survive and reproduce and pass along those traits. Which, essentially, is the process of evolution.
I hope I was able to help you. Best of luck!
