1, 2, and 4

Explanation:

Adaptations are traits that help organisms survive and reproduce in their environment. A giraffe stretching its neck to eat allows it to reach food sources, a bear hibernating in winter conserves energy during food - scarce times, and a bird having long feathers for flight aids in locomotion and escaping predators. Having strong jumping legs is a physical characteristic but not the same kind of adaptive behavior as the others in this context.
