Answer:

All answers should be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Artificial selection means humans select the mating pairs which makes the outcomes predictable. Variety is required because it is how humans can "customize" the traits of an organism. However, it does not help a population adapt to its environment because these traits are made for human satisfaction, not the survival of an organism.
