Which statement about the members of a populations living long enough to reproduce is consistent with the theory of natural selection?

According to the theory of natural selection, members of a population that possess advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, thereby passing those traits on to the next generation. This means that individuals who are better adapted to their environment will have higher reproductive success. Over time, these beneficial traits become more common in the population, leading to evolutionary change. Thus, survival and reproductive success are key components of how natural selection shapes populations.
