The answer is: nonrandom mating.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Artificial selection: This refers to the process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic traits. It is not related to the natural selection of mates based on preferred traits.
  2. Rating mating: This term is not commonly used in the context of evolutionary biology or mate selection.
  3. Nonrandom mating: This is the correct term. It refers to the process where individuals choose mates based on specific traits, rather than at random. This can include preferences for physical characteristics, behaviors, or other attributes.
  4. Sexual selection: While this is closely related, sexual selection is a broader concept that includes any process where certain traits increase an individual's chances of reproducing. Nonrandom mating is a specific type of sexual selection where mate choice is based on preferred traits.

Summary: When individuals are selective about choosing mates with a preferred trait, it is referred to as nonrandom mating.
