Answer:

The correct answer is A. stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is one type of natural selection that occurs when the population having non-extreme traits are stabilized. It results in overexpression of a particular trait in a population. Here most average individual gets selected.

So as the stabilizing selection favors the middle phenotype and not extreme phenotypes it decrease the genetic variation. So here individuals who are having extremely long snout are selected therefore a particular trait is selected and overexpressed in the population. So it is an example of stabilizing selection.

In the state of washington, the prevailing winds blow eastward off the ocean and up and over two mountain ranges. biologists are
stepan [7]
The fern should be found on the west side of the mountain ranges at higher elevations because the prevailing winds are from the west off the Pacific Ocean so bring moisture in the clouds and as the clouds rise up over the westernmost mountains they cool off and precipitate so in the warm seasons rain would be concentrated in this area and higher up would be cooler.
