The scenario in which evolution by natural selection would take place is:
**Penguins reproduce sexually, producing offspring that look different from one another.**
This scenario allows for genetic variation among the offspring, which is essential for natural selection to occur. The other scenarios involve reproduction that does not create genetic diversity, making it less likely for natural selection to have an impact.
