The scenario that accurately describes an example of artificial selection is when a farmer intentionally breeds oranges to be more resistant to aphids.

Artificial selection is a process in which humans intentionally choose and breed plants or animals with specific desirable traits to enhance those traits in future generations. It involves selecting and breeding individuals with certain traits that are considered advantageous.

In this case, the farmer is intentionally selecting and breeding oranges that are more resistant to aphids, a common pest that damages orange crops. By doing so, the farmer is increasing the chances of producing offspring with the desired trait of aphid resistance in oranges.

It is important to note that the other scenarios mentioned in the question involve natural selection or personal achievements rather than intentional human intervention through breeding or genetic modification.
