Answer:

Influenza (The Flu)

Step-by-step explanation:

Influenza (the flu virus) is a real-life example of natural selection that is most evident during an annual time period when the influenza virus infection peaks. The repeated or cyclical nature of flu outbreaks is caused by the natural selection of the virus for traits that allow it to evade the immune system and replicate, a process that actually results in new distinct strains of influenza virus.
