Answer:

D. the process by which species change as successful traits are passed on to the next generation

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.
