Answer/Explanation:

a. Directional selection is a form of natural <em>selection</em> that occurs when the conditions of an <em>environment</em> favors individuals of a <em>population</em> with an extreme trait that makes them have a <em>fitness</em> greater than other individuals with traits of lesser fitness that cannot survive and thrive well in the <em>environment</em> like the individuals with extreme traits that has greater <em>fitness</em>. In directional selection, the environmental condition of an <em>environment</em> favors the <em>selection</em> of individuals with a particular extreme trait only as against others with traits of less <em>fitness.</em>

b. Disruptive selection occurs when <em>selection</em> favors individuals of a <em>population</em> with extreme traits that has greater <em>fitness</em> to survive in an <em>environment, </em>while individuals of average traits with less <em>fitness </em>are selected against. <em>Selection</em> favors individuals of extreme values at both end of the spectrum.

c. Stabilizing selection occurs whereby, <em>selection</em> favors individuals of intermediate or average traits that has greater <em>fitness</em> to survive in an <em>environment </em>, while individuals in the <em>population</em> with extreme traits that have less <em>fitness</em> is selected against.

Which statement is TRUE regarding the Ku Klux Klan’s position on immigration in the 1920s?
alex41 [277]

The correct answer is letter C.

Explanation: The large influx of immigrants arriving in the United States, many of them Jewish or Catholic, was seen as justifying the great economic squeeze the country was going through. With the outbreak of the First World War, the Klan began to build the image of the country's defenders against the "foreign threat" as well as against Jews, blacks and Catholics.
