The correct answer is populations. Natural selection causes changes in populations over time. It acts on the variation in phenotypes within a population, favoring individuals with traits that increase their fitness and survival. As a result, the frequency of certain genotypes and phenotypes may increase or decrease within the population, leading to evolutionary changes.
