Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Survival of the fittest or when favorable adaptations reproduce faster is called what?
A
Evolution
B
Adaptation
C
Natural selection
D
Fossilization
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Darwin called this mechanism natural selection. 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-2: -"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-3: -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-4: -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.
