The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The question states that "All organisms cannot tolerate a wide range of salinities." We need to determine if this statement is true or false. 2. **Defining Salinity**: Salinity refers to the concentration of salts in water. High salinity means that the water has a lot of dissolved salts, which can affect the organisms living in that environment. 3. **Habitats of Organisms**: Different organisms inhabit various environments: - Some organisms live in freshwater (low salinity). - Others live in marine environments (high salinity). - Some organisms are terrestrial (land-dwelling) or aerial (air-dwelling). 4. **Tolerance to Salinity**: Not all organisms can tolerate high salinity. For example: - Freshwater organisms may struggle to survive in high salinity due to osmotic stress. - Terrestrial organisms may not have adaptations to deal with saline environments. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the statement claims that "all organisms cannot tolerate a wide range of salinities," and given that many organisms have specific salinity tolerances, the statement is **true**. 6. **Final Answer**: The statement is true; not all organisms can tolerate a wide range of salinities.
