Correct answer:
a process that selects variations that help with survival and that spreads the variations to more offspring.

Brief explanation: Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in heritable traits. Random variation (mutation, recombination) produces differences, and natural selection increases the frequency of beneficial traits because individuals with those traits leave more offspring.
