The accurate statement about natural selection is:

It is a biological process that leads a population to have a widespread expression of an advantageous trait.

Natural selection promotes the propagation of traits that improve an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment, leading to a higher prevalence of those advantageous traits in subsequent generations.
