Answer:

The correct answer would be - C. Scientists breed cows that give greater amounts of milk than their ancestors

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the process of adapting according to the new changes in condition and change accordingly to survive. So the individuals of organisms that are better and adapt faster to survive and reproduce better than others are the result of natural selection.

Plants developed thorns so they can be avoided by predators is the adaption and example of natural selection. Similarly, bacterial populations adapt and develop resistance to the drug. Fruit fly larva developed and adapt as well. Breeding cows for more amount of milk than ancestors by scientists is not natural selection.
