D. Determines survival of species

Natural selection plays a crucial role in a changing environment by selecting for traits that are most beneficial for survival and reproduction. This process determines which individuals within a population are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to future generations. Over time, this can lead to the adaptation and evolution of a species in response to environmental changes.
