Options
A Involves differential reproductive success
B It is a product of evolution
Correct Answer
C Requires genetic variation
D Results in descent with modification
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Natural selection is the process that drives evolution, not a product of it. The products of evolution are adaptations and the diversity of life. Differential reproductive success, requiring genetic variation, and resulting in descent with modification are all true of natural selection.

Hint

Is it the cause or the effect? Natural selection is the main cause.
