Which statement is true comparing natural selection and artificial selection?

• In natural selection, traits benefit humans and in artificial selection, the traits benefit the species

• In natural selection, traits benefit the species and in artificial selection, the traits benefit humans

• In natural and artificial selection, the process takes hundreds of years to occur

• In natural and artificial selection, nature determines what traits will be passed down to offspring.
