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.

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an):_________

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an): exotic species.

Exotic species are those that exist outside of their native geographic range, also known as alien, nonnative, nonindigenous, or introduced species. Exotic species are those that people have purposefully or accidentally introduced into ecosystems outside of the ones in which they have evolved. These introductions undoubtedly happen regularly in nature.

For instance, the Japanese native Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) was brought to the United States in 1876. Due to either a lack of imported individuals or inadequate adaptation to the ecosystem they join, the majority of attempts to introduce exotic species are likely to be unsuccessful. However, some species have preadaptations that can help them thrive even more in a novel setting.
