Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Option B is correct because Darwin’s theory of natural selection is fundamentally based on the observations that organisms reproduce prolifically, leading to competition for limited resources, and those individuals with advantageous traits (survival of the fittest) are more likely to survive and pass on their traits to offspring, thereby driving evolutionary change over time.)
