The mutation scenario that will always lead to natural selection is:

a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population.

This is because natural selection occurs when certain traits provide individuals with a better chance of survival and reproduction in their environment, leading to changes in the population over time. A mutation that offers a specific advantage would likely increase the frequency of that trait in the population through natural selection.
