The correct response to the question about the difference between genetic drift and natural selection is:
**Genetic drift is the random increase or decrease of certain genes in a population; natural selection is not random.**
This choice accurately reflects the definitions of both concepts, emphasizing that genetic drift is a stochastic process affecting allele frequencies, while natural selection involves differential survival and reproduction based on advantageous traits.
