What is the simple meaning of natural selection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Better survival of organisms with favourable traits
The governing concept is natural selection, a mechanism of evolution. Individuals in a population vary, and environmental conditions make some inherited variations more useful than others. Organisms with favourable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, so those traits may become more common over generations. Option A expresses this basic idea. Equal destruction, digestion and absence of change do not describe selection.
