Solution
The offspring of better-adapted individuals are expected to make up a larger proportion of the next generation. The most likely explanation is natural selection.
Explanation:
Natural selection causes better-adapted individuals to survive and reproduce more successfully, so their offspring make up a larger proportion of the next generation. This leads to the accumulation of advantageous traits in the population over time. This is because natural selection acts through differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on their adaptations.
