Which of the following best explains the phrase “survival of the fittest” in terms of evolution by natural selection? The strongest and fastest individuals will always survive and reproduce more often. The individuals that are the healthiest will always get more resources and survive better. Only individuals that have the most mates will survive with limited resources. The individuals that survive better and reproduce more often will pass their traits on more often.
