choose one option
a individuals that fit best into their environment survive to pass on their genes while individuals that are less fit die out.
b scientists can changes the genes of an animal with genetic engineering.
c parents can select which traits they pass to their offspring.
d mutations in dna do not happen in nature.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process in nature. According to the theory, organisms that are better adapted to their environment have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. They pass on their genes to the next generation. Option B is about genetic engineering (human - made gene changes), not natural selection. Option C is incorrect as parents do not consciously select traits to pass (it's a biological process based on genetics). Option D is wrong because mutations in DNA do occur in nature.

Answer:

A. individuals that fit best into their environment survive to pass on their genes while individuals that are less fit die out.
