Solution

The correct option is A Population
The smallest unit of evolution is population as it is the smallest unit of living organisms that can undergo evolution. A population is considered to be a "pool" of genes and gene types that are responsible for the genetic diversity of all the individuals within the group. Changes within the gene pool in the form of mutation or adaptations result in evolution.
