Dear student 
According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.So, the correct answer is 'Individuals with the most favorable traits survive and reproduce'

Natural selection is a process governed by changes in environmental factors, these factors produce stress on the organisms. That compels the organisms to undergo changes, in case the organism undergoes changes suitable to the environment, that is, it is suited to survive in the environment will also pass on those traits to the next generation, until the next change occurs. This is natural selection.

So, the correct answer is 'Individuals with the most favorable traits survive and reproduce'
