Arthur Caldwell · Answer 2

The correct answer is "The organism is better able to survive and pass on traits to offspring than competing organisms".

Explanation:

In nature, organisms are in a constant competition for resources, soil, air and its will to survive. In terms of natural selection, the organism that fits is the one that is better able to survive and pass on traits to offspring than competing organisms. As it was described by Charles Darwin, evolution takes its course by the statement of "survival of the fittest".
