Answer 1

The correct response is: does not impact evolution.

This is because for a trait to impact evolution, it generally needs to contribute to the reproductive success of the organism. If a fish is able to breathe outside of water but does not reproduce, that trait would not be passed on to future generations, and therefore, it would not impact the evolutionary process.
