Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Natural selection can best be defined as the ____
A
survival of the biggest and strongest organisms in a population
B
elimination of the smallest organisms by the biggest organisms
C
survival and reproduction of the organisms that occupy the largest area
D
survival and reproduction of the organisms that are genetically best adapted to the environment.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Natural selection is the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
