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.

How does climate differ with changing lattitudes on Earth?​
erma4kov [3.2K]
If you happen to believe the Earth is flat, you'll have a difficult time explaining global climate variations and seasons. If you accept the fact the Earth is a sphere, however, it's no problem. The variations are the result of two phenomena: the orbit of the Earth around the sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the orbit.
