Solution:

The organisms which are provided with favourable variations would survive, because they are the fittest to face their surroundings, while the unfit are eliminated. Originally it was an idea of Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) who used the phrase 'the survival of the fittest' first time. While Darwin named it as natural selection.
