Answer:

C. Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutional process by which species of living organisms with stronger or more beneficial traits have higher chances of survival and reproduction. In other words, it is the process by which organisms adapt and survive.

Organisms in a population are all different in their own ways. And those with characteristics or traits better suited for the environment are more likely to survive than those without. The selection prefers more beneficial traits and not wholly on the superiority of the organism. So, the survival and reproduction chance of an organism depends on the presence of traits beneficial to the environment, which is how nature selects. And in this process, those selected will dominate the population while those rejected will be reduced or even die.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Pasteurized milk in an unopened container spoils in the refrigerator. a sample reveals the presence of microorganisms. the most
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>The microbes that survived pasteurization were able to grow at 4°C. Some microbes especially a class known as thermophiles are known to thrive in temperatures above 55 degrees Celsius. Chloroflexus aurantiacus, for instance, thrives in temperatures that ranges between 50 and 60 degrees Celsius. Thermus aquaticus thrives at an optimal temperature of 80 degrees Celsius. Milk, like any other diary product, is an excellent medium for microbial growth, and when stored at ambient temperature, other pathogens and bacteria would proliferate. Inactivation of the major milk-borne pathogens would require an above average temperature. Staphylococcus aureus at 66.5 °C and Yersinia enterocolitica at 62.5 °C, pathogenic Escherichia coli at 65 °C etc.</span>
