The correct response that explains how variations within a population can be a disadvantage to survival as environments change is:
**B. Variations can lead to competition for resources.**
While variations can provide advantages in some scenarios, they can also create situations where individuals compete for the same limited resources, leading to stress, decreased survival rates, and challenges in sustaining the population as environmental conditions shift.
