The scenario that accurately describes an example of artificial selection is:
A farmer intentionally breeds oranges to be more resistant to aphids.
Artificial selection involves humans actively selecting for specific traits in plants or animals, as opposed to natural selection, where environmental factors drive which individuals reproduce. The farmer's intentional breeding of oranges for a desirable trait (resistance to aphids) is a clear example of artificial selection.
