Natural selection means that the organisms better adapted to their environment, that is, they have developed the right characteristics/skills/response to the external ambient, have higher chance to survive, making the next generations genetically inherit such acquired surviving characteristics.
These generations will thus have a higher chance of survival, making these species being "naturally selected" as survivors, while those who haven't or are slower in this process, have a higher risk of elimination.
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:
<span>atural and synthetic
metabolites and nonmetabolites
proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids
organic compounds and inorganic compounds
I think the correct answer from the choices is the third option. The c</span>lassifications of matter used In the 1800 are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Hope this helps.
