Which of the following is a factor in natural selection? A. Individuals of species compete with one another to survive.
B. Individuals better able to adapt to changes leave more offspring.
C. All species are genetically diverse.
D. All of the above.

D.

Explanation:

Although all of these answers are similar, it seems that all three are the answer. I am sorry if the answer ends up being B but I'm pretty sure the answer is D. Charles Darwin's evolution theory "evolved", get it, from the natural selection theory. The theory is described as "the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring." However, some factors that effect natural selection are competition, selection and variation. I believe all three fit the answer and therefore I believe answer D is correct.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
