Answer:

the organisms that make it to the next generation are the fittest out of the natural selection

Explanation: Survival of the fittest refers to the one that makes it to the end of a race. So if an organism through natural selection has more offspring that make it to the next generation they are the "Survived of the fittest"

"Survival of the fittest" is a popular term that refers to the process of natural selection, a mechanism that drives evolutionary change. Natural selection works by giving individuals who are better adapted to a given set of environmental conditions an advantage over those that are not as well adapted.
