Which of the following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based?
A. There is heritable variation among individuals
B. Poorly adapted individuals never produce offspring
C. Species produce more offspring than the environment can support
D. Only a fraction of an individuals are spring me survive

Option-(B): The following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based is the characteristics of a poorly adapted individuals which can never produce offspring.

Explanation:

The idea of natural selection basically follows the analyses of the heritable characters which passes from one generation into another, having the specific set of data or genome been transferred into there descendants. And how each specie goes through the process of survival in order to have more chances to acquire the required natural resources and shelter for them selves inside a region or area.

This is the most closely resembles the model.
