Nonrandom mating refers to a system in which individuals select their mates based on specific traits or characteristics, such as phenotype. This can result in changes in allele frequencies in a population and can lead to evolution. Random mating, on the other hand, occurs when individuals mate without regard to their phenotype or other traits, and does not result in changes in allele frequencies. Differential mating and sexual selection are related concepts, but refer to specific types of nonrandom mating in which individuals select mates based on certain traits or behaviors. Therefore, A is the best choice as it specifically relates to the selection of mates based on phenotype.
