Dear student 
The interactions between individuals and their environment is what determines whether their genetic information will be passed on or not. This is why natural selection acts on phenotypes instead of genotypes. A phenotype is an organism's physical traits, while a genotype is an organism's genetic makeup.
 
So, c would be correct option.

Natural selection acts directly on phenotype, not genotype. In other words, natural selection acts on an organism's characteristics, not directly on its alleles. ... Therefore, organisms with higher fitness pass more copies of their genes to the next generation.
