Answer 1

The most likely response to the scenario described is:

**The organism will not be able to adapt, and the species will go extinct.**

This is because if a rapid major change occurs in the environment, a well-adapted organism may not possess the necessary traits to survive the new conditions, leading to its extinction if it cannot find a way to cope with or move to a more suitable habitat.
