c) Survival of the fittest

In Darwin's evolutionary theory, he described the process of natural selection whereby individuals with desirable that enables them adapt well to their environment, thrive well and reproduce more to leave behind more offspring with such characteristics than those with characteristics that are less favored by the environment. This struggle of survival as explained by Darwin is what can be referred as survival of the fittest.
