The correct answer is: **a. Humans are affected by natural selection like other animals.**
This indicates that skin color in humans is an evolutionary adaptation related to geographic location and environmental factors such as UV radiation from the sun. Darker skin is often found in populations near the equator, where there is more intense sunlight, while lighter skin is more common in regions farther from the equator. This adaptation reflects how natural selection influences physical traits in response to environmental conditions.
