[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

The mutation scenario that will always lead to natural selection is option C: a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population. Natural selection is the process by which favorable traits or characteristics become more common in a population over time because individuals with those traits have a greater likelihood of surviving and reproducing. In this scenario, the mutation results in a specific advantage, which means individuals possessing this mutation are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the increased frequency of the favorable trait in the population over generations.
