How do populations respond to an environmental change?

• Natural selection has no impact on population dynamics.
• Populations become extinct due to environmental changes.
• All individuals in a population adapt equally to environmental changes.
• Populations respond to environmental change through natural selection, favoring individuals with advantageous traits.
