Solution

The correct statement about natural selection is: "Natural selection does not have a goal of a perfect organism."

Natural selection is a process where organisms that are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. It does not produce new phenotypes when a species needs them, nor does it have a goal of creating a perfect organism. It also does not necessarily produce more complex and bigger species over time. The changes depend on the specific environmental pressures and the genetic variation present in the population.
