Answer:

(c) directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when members of a population of a species with a particular extreme phenotype is selected or favored against the other phenotypes when natural forces act on the population of a species. Individuals having the particular traits that are favored survive and become more common that others with traits that are less favored.

Directional selection may likely result in the species of butterflies in which darkly collared butterflies are not preyed upon, ensuring their survival, while the other butterflies with other colors will be phased out with time. Darkly colored butterfly will be selected for while the others will be selected against.
