Answer:

The correct answer is option D, decreased variation in tail feather color because the only reason for variation was selection pressure

Explanation:

According to Charles Darwin, traits that help an individual in selecting mates are favored by the sexual selection while all other normal traits are favored by natural selection.Thus , it is believed that this sexual mating pressure among the male peacocks produce large variation in the color and pattern.The male peacocks compete with each other to attract the female on the basis of their colorful tails and its varied patterns.
