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

Which of the following is NOT an example of natural selection?
