Solution

The correct option is B Natural selection
The Central idea of Darwinism is Natural Selection. Darwin insisted that in a population there always exists a number of variations based on different combinations of traits, now carrying capacity of the environment is not unlimited. Hence, nature selects the best-suited organisms that have a greater chance to become parents for the next generation.
