Answer:

d. phenotype

Explanation:

<em>Natural selection exert pressure on the physical characteristics of organisms, that is, the phenotype.</em>

Natural selection refers to the variation in the survival and reproduction of individuals within a population based on how adaptable they are to the environment in which they live.

<u>The forces of natural selection act on the physical characteristics of individuals, that is how physically fit or unfit individuals are. 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.
