natural selection and evolution are the same thing

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution is not the same as adaptation or natural selection. Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection is one of the central mechanisms of evolutionary change and is the process responsible for the evolution of adaptive features. Without a working knowledge of natural selection, it is impossible to understand how or why living things have come to exhibit their diversity and complexity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct statement is-Natural Selection is the process by which ‘organisms with more beneficial traits’ are likely to survive and reproduce. EXPLANATION: Natural selection is the process of ‘differential survival’ and ‘reproduction in organisms’ that have different phenotype.
