The most accurate statement regarding the relationship between changes in the environment and variations in a population is:
**D) Changes in the environment can act only on existing variations in a population.**
This statement reflects the idea that natural selection works on the variations that are already present within a population. Environmental changes may favor certain traits over others, but new variations arise through mutations and genetic recombination, not directly from environmental changes.
