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.

Identify two ways in which animals can reduce the intensity of intraspecific competition
MrMuchimi
Intraspecific competition involves an interaction where by members of the same species compete for limited supply of resources. The end result is the reduction in fitness for both individuals. Animals can reduce the intensity of intraspecific competition by exploiting different type of food resources and also moving to other areas that are sparsely populated and with high amounts of food.
