The correct answer is F (False)

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is a process in which, certain traits or features prevail over time as these give organisms an advantage to survive. This process occurs without the intervention of humans and leads to the evolution of species. On the other hand, in dog breeding, humans select specific dogs to obtain certain traits in the offspring of the dogs crossed. This implies humans manipulate on purpose some of the traits that prevail over time, and therefore artificial rather than natural selection occurs in dog breeding.
