Answer:

D. Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection helps to prevent extreme trait characteristics and focuses on the non extreme ones to ensure that such traits are prevalent.

Due to the fact that there isn’t enough food for a large number of the offspring and also the risk of losing all the eggs to those who had a small amount of eggs, stability was achieved after some generations that ensures that there was a balance in ensuring the eggs weren’t too few and too many.
