Individuals with favorable traits survive, reproduce, and pass their traits onto their offspring. This is called
A
Mutation
B
Adaptation
C
Evolution
D
Natural Selection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Natural selection is a process where organisms with beneficial and advantageous traits survive better than others. As generations pass, the species will have many organisms that have that advantageous trait.

Detailed explanation-2: -Natural selection, also known as “survival of the fittest, ” is the more prolific reproduction of individuals with favorable traits that survive environmental change because of those traits.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -If natural selection favors an average phenotype by selecting against extreme variation, the population will undergo stabilizing selection.

Detailed explanation-5: -Natural selection is a non-random difference in reproductive output among replicating entities, often due indirectly to differences in survival in a particular environment, leading to an increase in the proportion of beneficial, heritable characteristics within a population from one generation to the next.
