The correct answer is a. Natural selection favors individuals that reproduce more than others

Explanation:

Nature select those organisms who are better adapted to their environment and reproduce more and eliminate those individuals who have lower reproductive fitness. This process of selection is called natural selection.

So the selected individual will have more chances to reproduce and produce more offsprings and more the offsprings more will be the chances of survival of offsprings and adaptation. Therefore it is true that natural selection favors the individual who have more reproductive fitness.
