The most accurate statement from the provided options is:
**"Organisms with variations that give an advantage are more likely to survive."**
This statement aligns with the principles of natural selection, where advantageous traits that enhance an organism's chances of survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed on to future generations.
The other statements contain inaccuracies or are overly generalized. For instance:
- Not all variations become more common in a population; some may be neutral or disadvantageous.
- While variations can affect reproductive success, it is not guaranteed that all variations influence reproduction in all cases.
- Organisms with beneficial variations are generally more likely to pass those variations to their offspring, not less likely.
