The most likely effect of a region's climate becoming cooler on the species living there would be:
Some species that already have or that develop cold-weather adaptations through natural selection will survive, while species without cold-weather adaptations may go extinct.
This response accurately reflects the process of natural selection, where species that can adapt to the new conditions may thrive, while those that cannot will face a higher risk of extinction.
