Question

The driving force of evolution is:

• A. Reproductive isolation
• B. Natural selection
• C. Artificial selection
• D. Mutations

Hint:

Understanding natural selection is key to comprehending how species adapt and evolve over time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Natural selection is the driving force behind evolution. It is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, passing on their traits to the next generation. 
Reproductive isolation (1): While it is important for speciation, it is not the driving force of evolution.
Artificial selection (3): This refers to human-directed breeding of organisms, which is not a natural evolutionary process.
Mutations (4): Mutations are important for introducing genetic variation but are not the driving force behind evolutionary change. Natural selection acts on mutations.
Thus, Natural selection is the mechanism that drives the process of evolution.
