The most accurate statement about natural selection is:

It is a biological process that leads a population to have a widespread expression of an advantageous trait.

Natural selection is the mechanism by which certain traits become more common in a population because they confer some advantage in terms of survival and reproduction in a given environment. Over time, this can lead to the widespread expression of these advantageous traits in the population.
