The most likely outcome for an organism that is well adapted to its environment when a rapid, major change occurs is:

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

In many cases, if the environmental changes are too drastic and rapid, organisms that cannot adjust quickly enough may face extinction, as they may not have the necessary traits or adaptations to survive in the new conditions.
