Answer
D. natural selection
Explanation
Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. This leads to changes in the traits of populations over time, directly influencing the insect population's evolution based on environmental pressures and survival advantages. It contrasts with gene flow, genetic drift, and sexual selection, which also affect populations but in different ways.
