Natural selection is the process by which organisms develop variation in traits, which gives them a better chance of survival.

Answer 1

C is the correct option.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

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. 'Natural selection' is based on premise that variation exists in all organisms and organisms that have the required traits and genetics tend to survive.

Natural selection is the key to evolution and states that organisms over a certain period of time develop different traits and characteristics. Natural selection also suggests that it is these characteristics and genetics that are passed from 'one generation' to another in organisms'.
