Answer:

The correct answer is option C) "directional selection".

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection characterized by extreme characteristcs of a trait being favored over medium ones. The genetics behind directional selection are based on an allele being favored over the others, either by environmental or biotic conditions. The rabbits in northern Canada is an example of directional selection because a previously rare allele becomes favored due to a change in the environmental conditions. Therefore, the rare allele is selected and now becomes more frequent in rabbits.
