The correct answer is C. Due to increased shark populations, seal populations have more streamlined bodies.

Explanation:

Natural selection can only be compared between organisms of the same species. The comparison between sharks and seals is not an example of natural selection because it doesn't explain properly why there's a relationship between the two species and how it led to a change in the seals' bodies.
