Answer: Directional selection

Explanation:

In the population genetics, directional selection is the mode of selection during which the extreme phenotype are favored more than the other phenotype.

Here, in the question the acid tolerant plant species is favored over the other phenotype.

Hence, the correct answer is option D

The remote sensing technique known as _________ has enabled scientists to map more than 800 square miles (2,100 square kilometer
allsm [11]

From what we know, we can confirm that the remote sensing technique described in the question is that of laser scanning.

<h3>What is laser scanning?</h3>

This is, as described in the question, a remote sensing technique. This is a method most often used for land surveys, in which lasers are pointed at the area, which gather information in the form of 3D coordinates, which are later compiled to create detailed maps of the region.

Therefore, we can confirm that the remote sensing technique used by the PACUNAM project in order to map more than 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala, is that of laser scanning.
