Answer 1

B. preservation of advantageous genetic mutations

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of natural selection involves the preservation of advantageous genetic mutation in a given population.

Natural selection is one of the key factors that ensures the evolution of organisms.

• Desired traits that are able to survive adverse conditions like disease, food shortage, natural disasters are favored by the process of natural selection.
• Traits that also undergo advantageous genetic mutation in order to get a competitive advantage is also accrued to natural selection.
