Solution

The correct option is B outcome
Natural selection is the phenomenon wherein nature selects the existance of organisms having traits favourable to the environment. The organisms exhibit different characteristics due to different genotypes (variation). If these characteristics are favoured by the natural environment, the organisms with these variations survive and propagate, and may form different species. Thus, evolution is the outcome of natural selection.
