Outbreeding, which involves mating unrelated animals, is more likely to result in a stronger ability to adapt to environmental conditions and a higher survival rate. Outbreeding introduces genetic diversity into the population, which increases the chances of beneficial traits being present. This genetic diversity allows for a broader range of adaptations, making the population better equipped to cope with changes in the environment and increasing the likelihood of survival. Interspecific hybridisation, while it can also introduce genetic diversity, involves mating animals of different species and may not always lead to a stronger ability to adapt or higher survival rates.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1) Outbreeding.
