Explanation:

Natural selection favors traits that enhance survival and reproductive success. The bat's feeding - related features help it access food resources better, giving it an advantage over others in the population. It is not related to increased predation, most mutations are not necessarily advantageous, and it's not due to intentional breeding (which is artificial selection).
