Question

which of these statements best sums up evolution?
rapid change in species habits and features
rapid development of vestigial structures in a species
change in a population through new species being made
change in a population through genetic variation over time

Explanation:

Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. It occurs through genetic variation over time. It is not a rapid - change process in general, and vestigial structures are a result of evolution rather than its main definition. New species formation is a part of evolution but the most comprehensive definition among the options is the change in a population through genetic variation over time.

Answer:

change in a population through genetic variation over time
