How does natural selection work with regards to genes and what is passed to the next generation?

Genes and Loci | BioNinja

a
Those with the most favorable combination of genes survive and pass their DNA to the next generation.
b
Natural selection allows genes to mutate changing the species of an organism.
c
Those with the most favorable combination of genes die off not allowing their DNA to be passed on to the next generation.
d
Those with the least favorable combination of genes survive and pass their DNA to the next generation.

a. Those with the most favorable combination of genes survive and pass their DNA to the next generation.

Natural selection works by favoring individuals with certain traits that are better suited for their environment. These individuals are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on their genes to the next generation. Over time, this process can lead to changes in the gene pool of a population as certain traits become more common. Ultimately, natural selection helps to drive the process of evolution by selecting for traits that improve an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.
