Answer:

Sexual selection.

Explanation:

Sexual selection may be defined as the mode of natural selection in which the organism of one sex chose mate of the other sex and fight for the mating. The organism that can mate have higher chances of reproductive success than other individual of the population.

The condition of albinism in peacock, reduces the chances of successful mating as it is unable to attract the mates of opposite sex. The peacock with genotype AA and Aa has higher chances of mate attraction and successful reproduction.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
