Correct answer: "Genetic drift is the random increase or decrease of certain genes in a population; natural selection is not random."

Explanation: Genetic drift changes allele frequencies by chance (sampling error), especially in small populations. Natural selection is a non-random process where alleles that increase fitness become more common because individuals with them survive and reproduce more.
