The best piece of evidence that supports the argument for kin selection as a mechanism for the evolution of altruistic behavior is:
**a penguin protects its chick from seagulls.**
This example illustrates kin selection because the penguin is exhibiting altruistic behavior to protect its offspring, which shares a significant amount of genetic material with the parent. In this scenario, the parent's actions increase the chances of survival for its genetic lineage.
