which type of selection occurs when a population experiences a shift in diversity toward the larger organisms? stabilizing selection directional selection disruptive selection adaptive selection

Answer

Answer:

B. directional selection

Brief Explanations:

Directional selection favors one extreme of a trait. Here, the shift is towards larger - sized organisms (one extreme), which is characteristic of directional selection. Stabilizing selection favors the average, disruptive selection favors both extremes, and adaptive selection is a general term not specific to this shift.
