Explanation:

Consider a stab wound in upper abdomen which has pierced through upper/ventral wall of stomach. This is what medically called as gastric perforation and requires emergency surgical management within 4 to 12 hours of injury. If left unattended the person will develope distension of abdomen with vomitting within 4 to 6 hrs, fever within 12 hrs, all because of infection spreading to rest of abdomen ( medically called Peritonitis). If no surgery is undertaken the person will die due to sepsis within 24 to 48 hrs.

Situation 2: stab would injuring major vessel or even liver will pool blood in abdomen ( medically Hemoperitonium) will further worsen the situation and wld need more intensive management. If not treated properly such person can die within 6 to 12 hrs due to hypovoluemic shock.

Robins typically lay four eggs. Four eggs allow the offspring to be well fed, whereas larger clutches may result in malnourished
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

The process of natural selection selects a species in one of the three ways: stabilizing selection, directional selection and disruptive selection.

During the process of stabilizing selection, nature does not favour the extreme phenotypes of the population but the intermediate phenotype with the maximum number of population.

In the given question, the Robin laid four eggs, neither more than four nor less than four which could have more disadvantages than the advantages.  Since the intermediate number of eggs is favoured by nature therefore the stabilizing pattern is observed.

Thus, Stabilizing selection is correct.
