Solution

Fitness is an important concept in natural selection. Fitness is most properly a property of a genotype.

Explanation:

Fitness in natural selection is most properly considered a property of a genotype because it reflects the genetic contribution of an individual to the next generation through its reproductive success. Although fitness may be expressed through the phenotype, it is ultimately the genotype that is passed on and determines evolutionary outcomes.
