The best example of biological fitness is the ability of the individual to **c. Contribute to the gene pool of the next generation.**
Biological fitness primarily refers to an organism's success in passing its genes to the next generation, which encompasses survival, reproductive success, and how many offspring survive to also reproduce. While adaptability and longevity are important, the central concept of fitness is ultimately tied to reproductive success.
