The correct response is:
**the most well-adapted individuals in a population**
In the context of evolution and natural selection, "survival of the fittest" refers to the idea that the individuals best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This does not necessarily mean the strongest or healthiest individuals, but rather those whose traits are most advantageous for survival in a given context.
