Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The correct answer is: Disruptive selection

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that favors both extreme traits in a population (it is bimodal)  over intermediate traits. In the example above, it favors dark and light-snails (both are extreme traits). As a consequence, the population of snails is divided into two distinct groups. This happens because snails with intermediate brightness wouldn’t have suitable environment for them, wouldn’t be adopted to either shady forest or brushy edge areas.
