Answer:
D. Fossils being formed
Step-by-step explanation:
In the natural selection process, the point is that the animal which is best adapted to the environment survives, so their offspring can survive and produce more offspring that adapts. This is because organisms need to adapt to their environment to survive. Without natural selection, most animals would be too weak to live in their own habitat.
So when we see the answer choices, we have to ask if the species could continue to live and adapt.
A- the species produces more offspring that can survive. Yes, the species can continue to live and adapt.
B- an organism adapts to their environment. Yes, the species can continue to live and adapt.
C- individuals competing with each other. Yes, the better species will win, and continue to live and adapt
D- fossils being formed. No, this has nothing to do with the process of living and adapting. It is in fact the opposite, since it relates to the species dying.
So the answer is D
