Frogs use their tongues to catch flies, the longer a frog's tongue the more food he can get. Over time the lengths of frog’s tongues became longer, as those frogs with shorter tongues died off quickly and reproduced more slowly. This is an example of which of the following?

Adaption

Natural Selection

Mutation

Variations

Answer:

Natural Selection

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural selection is the correct answer because the frogs without the long tongues to get food had to die off from lack of food as the frogs with longer tongues thrived and survived.

Natural selection is simply how living organisms adapt to their environment to ensure their survival.
