An example of natural selection is the tail of a male peacock. The females of the species choose mates based on the colors of th
konstantin123 [22]
The correct answer is the last one: Decreased variation in tail feather color because the only reason for variation was selection pressure.

If the female peacock were to base her selection criteria on something other than the colors of the male's tail feathers, the latter would not play such an important role anymore and therefore there would no longer be the pressure of needing to have the brightest, most variant and vibrant colors.
