Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be option c.

Natural selection refers to the natural phenomenon which leads to the evolution through differential reproduction.

Differential reproduction refers to the different rates of reproduction of organisms in a population.

The organisms which are better adapted to the environment or have better traits tend to survive and reproduce more as compared to the other organisms.

Over the generations, the traits become common in the entire population.  

For example, having the same color as that of the tree gives the survival advantage to the moth due to camouflage. Consequently, the same color population increases in size while the contrasting color population decreases.
