How does artificial selection differ from natural selection? Natural selection occurs in organisms, but Artificial selection occurs in human-made objects Natural selection is driven by survival, but (B) artificiald selection is driven by human preferences (C) \( \begin{array}{l}\text { but artificial selection passes on } \\ \text { mutations }\end{array} \) Natural selection passes on desired traits, (

1. First, note that natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable traits tend to survive and reproduce, passing their genes to the next generation. In contrast, artificial selection is the process by which humans breed organisms for specific traits. 2. Option (B) states that natural selection is driven by survival, while artificial selection is driven by human preferences. This is correct because natural selection is based on environmental pressures and the survival of organisms best adapted to their surroundings, whereas artificial selection is a deliberate choice made by humans to propagate traits they find desirable. 3. Other options are incorrect: - Option (A) incorrectly suggests that artificial selection occurs in human-made objects rather than organisms. - Option (C) misleadingly implies that artificial selection passes on mutations, which is not a distinguishing factor compared to natural selection. Thus, the correct answer is: \( \textbf{(B) natural selection is driven by survival, but artificial selection is driven by human preferences.} \)
