The correct answer is:
artificial selection
These are examples of artificial selection.
The process in which the breeder choose to perpetuate only those forms that have certain desirable inheritable characterstics is known as 'Artificial selection'.
Mutation is a sudden change in DNA sequence due to mutagenic agents such as chemicals and radiations. Natural selection is a gradual process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of the changing environment. Reverse evolution or devolution is a notion that species can change into more primitive forms over time.
