Answer:
C. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.
The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.
The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.
Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators
The organism (Living thing), utilizes energy, can detect changes in the environment it is in, and can rearrange and synthesize chemical compounds.
Some things to remember, Living organisms need to be able to reproduce, obtain energy, usually by eating food in order to work. They need the ability to maintain structure, a body. They need to be able to react to a change, whether it be external or internal. The organism must be able to dispose of waste. Needs the ability to grow and develop. Must be able to move. and finally death. <span />

Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which
we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism,
begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the
same function as those found on other species.
In order to correctly classify an organism,
scientists use many modern tools.
1.Morphology describes the physical
characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place
the organism within a domain and kingdom.
2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow
scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.
3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to
group organisms that share common fetal development.
<span>4.Evolutionary
phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These
relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from
ancestor to new species. Traits
may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits
(shared genes).
