Solution

The correct option is A Speciation
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. The biologist Orator F. Cook was the first to coin the term 'speciation'.
Natural selection is a process in nature through which living organisms adapt and change in response to an environmental condition.
A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence.
So, the correct option is 'A'.
