Which is a correct example of artificial selection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Humans selecting cabbage varieties with desired traits
Artificial selection occurs when humans choose organisms with preferred inherited traits and breed them so those traits become more frequent. Selecting cabbage plants for particular leaves, buds or stems is an example. Option A therefore directly describes human-directed breeding. A random mutation may provide variation but is not itself artificial selection, while mountain formation and fossil discovery are geological or evidential processes, not selective breeding.
