A

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process by which organisms with traits well suited to an environment survive and reproduce at a greater rate than organisms less suited to that environment. It requires the differential reproductive success of genetically varied individuals.

Aliana Fernandez · Answer 2

The answer is B, Natural selection is easier described as battle of the fittest the best will survive so that means the animals that learn to suit there environment will be able to pass on their genes eventually evolving
