How does Natural Selection lead to the evolution of new species?
A
The strongest organisms will survive long enough to pass on their genetic traits to future generations.
B
The strongest organisms will survive long enough to pass on the things they have learned to future generations.
C
The organisms that are best adapted to their environment will survive long enough to pass on their genetic traits to future generations.
D
The organisms that are best adapted to their environment will survive long enough to pass on the things they have learned future generations.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down allow organisms to adapt to the environment better than other organisms of the same species. This enables better survival and reproduction compared with other members of the species, leading to evolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -"Survival of the fittest” is a popular term that refers to the process of natural selection, a mechanism that drives evolutionary change. Natural selection works by giving individuals who are better adapted to a given set of environmental conditions an advantage over those that are not as well adapted.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some variations are favorable to an organism in a particular environment and help it to survive and reproduce abundantly. Natural selection chooses the organisms with the traits best fit to survive and reproduce in that environment. Many of these variations are inherited from parents and will be passed onto offspring.
