Solution
The correct option is D population
Species is a group of similar organisms that share common characteristics and are capable of interbreeding among themselves but are reproductively isolated from other species. Individual is defined as a single organism of a particular species.
A population is a group of individuals of the same species living in a particular area at a particular time and capable of interbreeding with each other.
The population is subject to various forces like variation and natural selection, and can undergo changes in genotypes and phenotypes due to which the entire gene pool of the population changes and leads to evolution. Hence, the unit of evolution is population.
