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

Briefly: genetic drift = random changes in allele frequencies due to chance (especially important in small populations). Natural selection = nonrandom change because alleles that increase survival/reproduction become more common.
