D. This is because artificial selection is basically the human breeding of plants or animals, and we do so in a way to bring forth the best traits to solve a problem or create a better product. Hope this helps!

The correct answer is D, as artificial selection favors traits beneficial to humans, unlike natural selection, which operates based on environmental fitness. Artificial selection involves humans consciously choosing specific traits for breeding, while natural selection occurs without human intervention. This highlights the direct influence of humans in the breeding process of artificial selection.
