Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) surrounding your brain and spinal cord. ...

Some cases of meningitis improve without treatment in a few weeks.
Natural selection is basically when organisms with the best traits survive and pass on their good traits to their offspring so that they will adapt easily and survive. Organisms who do not have ‘good traits’ that help them adapt and escape predators will be killed or eaten before they reproduce.
So in the end, natural selection is a form of evolution that allows the ‘fittest’ animals to survive and reproduce, while weeding out the unfit.

Answer: the answer is fitness
Explanation:
Environment is where the organism lives
Population is the amount of organisms
So fitness, also called Darwinian Fitness, is the correct answer
