According to modern evolutionary synthesis (Neo-Darwinism), natural selection changes:

A. The genetic code of an individual during its lifetime.
B. Allele frequencies in the gene pool of a population over generations.
✓
C. The geological formations of the Earth's crust.
D. The absolute carrying capacity of an ecosystem.

📝 Explanation

Neo-Darwinism combines Darwinian selection with Mendelian genetics, defining evolution as a change in allele frequencies within a population's gene pool over generations.

📖 Additional Information
