When organisms are better adapted to their environment they will survive and reproduce more successfully than organisms less adapted. This process is called —

cloning

selective breeding

natural selection

evolution of all species

natural selection

The process you are referring to is called natural selection. Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution in which organisms that are better adapted to their environment have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of beneficial traits in a population, resulting in changes in the characteristics of that population.
