Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] Natural selection is the Darwin’s most famous theory of evolution.
Natural selection is the gradual process by which transmissible biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment.
It is a key mechanism of evolution.
