The most accurate response is:
Changes in the environment can act only on existing variations in a population.
This statement reflects the principle of natural selection, where environmental changes can influence which traits (variations) are advantageous for survival and reproduction in a given context. New variations may arise through mutations, but the environment will act on the variations that are already present within the population.
