<h2>B) option is correct </h2>
Explanation:
Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit
In artificial selection, breeders select superior breed for the breeding purpose so that this type of selection favors the superior genotype and eliminates inferior genotype, thus leading to genetic drift
Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which intermediate genotype is favored but extreme genotypes (inferior and superior) are eliminated
In the given example of pigmentation in pigeons, breeding is selectively done with intermediate pigmentation hence intermediate genotypes will be favored
the answer is d. break down matter from dead plants and animals
