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.

Explanation:

Robins are born in the spring or summer and are mature birds and ready to breed in the following spring or summer. They do not mate for life. Pairs usually remain together during an entire breeding season, which can involve two or three nestings. However, in spring, sometimes a male and female who mated the previous year will both return to the same territory and end up together for another year. This happens most frequently when they were successful raising babies the previous year. Robins lay one egg per day, for a total of 5–6 eggs in a clutch. The eggs hatch about 12 - 14 days after the last egg was laid. Baby robins jump from their nest when they are about 13 days old, but the range is 9 - 16 days. After leaving the nest (fledging), it takes another 10-15 days for babies to become strong fliers and independent birds. The parents continue to feed their young during this period.

Most robins die their first year. But the lifespan goes up dramatically for the ones that survive this critical time, because they've learned so many important life skills. Of those that survive their first year, most wild robins live to be about 5 or 6. As of February, 2001, the longest-living banded wild robin ever recorded had survived 13 years and 11 months, according to the Bird Banding Laboratory at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. In captivity, robins have survived longer than 17 years.

The planet Venus has a large amount of water vapor in its atmosphere, and like Earth, has experienced extensive volcanic activit
galina1969 [7]
No, because a single observation on one planet is not sufficient to discredit a theory.
There are too much variables that would cause that data, and just observing one planet is the same as ignoring all the potential variables.
