This process is known as
A. genetic engineering.
B. natural selection.
C. artificial selection.
D. selective breeding.

Ok, this is the history section, not biology. But I know the answer to it, it's Natural Selection, this was described in Darwin's Book "The origin of species" so I know it. Since the question doesn't say it's anything man involved A and C, which imply human intervention, are automatically out,  D also implies this with selective BREEDING, which means human control. Natural Selection is the only choice.
