The 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. If a mutation confers a specific advantage, the individuals with that mutation are more likely to thrive and pass on their genes to the next generation.
