Detailed explanation-1: -Kin selection is the act of sacrificing one’s own life so that relative’s can pass on one’s genes to future generations. Therefore, it is a correct option.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kin selection is a way of understanding allele frequency change as a consequence of the actions and interactions among individuals who share alleles by recent common descent – ie, kin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kin selection is the evolutionary strategy that favours the reproductive success of an organism’s relatives, even when at a cost to the organism’s own survival and reproduction. Kin altruism can look like altruistic behaviour whose evolution is driven by kin selection.

Detailed explanation-4: -n. A biological theory stating that a gene that causes an organism to exhibit behavior detrimental to its survival will increase in frequency in a population if that behavior benefits the organism’s relatives, which will pass the gene on to subsequent generations.

Detailed explanation-5: -The honeybee and other social insects provide the clearest example of kin selection. They are also particularly interesting examples because of the peculiar genetic relationships among the family members. Male honeybees (drones) develop from the queen’s unfertilized eggs and are haploid.
