A computer program that employs a set of adaptive processes that mimic the concept of "survival of the fittest" by regenerating recombinants of itself in response to a calculated difference between the network's guess and the desired solution state is known as a:
A) neural network.
B) artificial life system.
C) genetic algorithm.
D) None of the above.

Genetic algorithms are optimization algorithms based on the principles of natural selection and genetics. They simulate the process of natural evolution, using mechanisms such as mutation, crossover, and selection to evolve solutions to problems by iteratively improving a population of candidate solutions. This approach is particularly effective for complex optimization problems where traditional methods might struggle.
