Question
Natural selection occurs through: a. Survival of the fattest b. Survival of the healthiest c. Survival of the fittest d. Survival of the best
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
'Survival of the fittest' is a phrase often used to summarize natural selection. 'Fittest' in this context means best adapted to the environment, leading to greater reproductive success, not necessarily the strongest or healthiest in a colloquial sense.
Hint
The 'fittest' are those best able to survive and reproduce in their specific environment.
