Those who have traits that help them survive are able to reproduce, and their offspring have those traits, leading to a change in the species over time.

Traits that are advantageous help certain individuals reproduce at higher rates, so those traits are more common within the population.

Some individuals are better at competing for resources, and that allows them to survive droughts or other major ecological events, leading to the extinction of certain species and the survival of others.

Individuals that survive due to their competitive advantage are able to expand their range, similar to how the finches radiated out from one common ancestor on the mainland.

The correct response that explains how an individual with a competitive advantage can lead to the evolution of an entire species is:
Traits that are advantageous help certain individuals reproduce at higher rates, so those traits are more common within the population.
This statement encapsulates the concept of natural selection, where favorable traits become more prevalent in a population over generations, leading to evolutionary change.
