Question:
The earth is a planet bathed in light; it is therefore (i) __________ that many of the living organisms that have evolved on the earth have (ii) __________ the biologically advantageous capacity to trap light energy.
Explanation:
Let us do the second blank first:
We know that the earth is a planet bathed in light. Therefore it is natural to expect the organisms evolved on earth to have developed the biologically advantageous capacity to trap light energy.
So the choices are: unsurprising and developed. Encapsulated the capacity to trap light energy sounds a bit contrived and affected. Developed is a more natural term to use there.

Also, to add, for the second blank, when you evolve you develop something new. you don't encapsulate something new.
