Individuals that posses physical characters that makes them to be better adapted to the environment survives and reproduce better than their counterparts that are less adapted. Natural selection thus selects for the physical characters that make the individuals to be better adapted.</u>

The correct option is d.

melomori [17]

For example, while most plants receive nutrients from soil, some live in soils which do not fully meet their needs. Such plants sometimes kill and use animals in order to meet these needs (i.e. venus flytrap) or partner with bacteria that produce some of the nutrients they need (i.e legumes).
