    The statement which correctly describes natural selection is (1) it favors the survival of certain members of the species and results in a change in the proportion of individuals with highly adaptive traits.

    Natural selection, by definition talks about the successful passing down of genes from older generations to younger generations. These then are better adapted to their environment. This is exactly what the first answer is about.
