What is the Natural Selection That Shifts the Adaptation of an Entire

Question

What is the natural selection that shifts the adaptation of an entire population called?
A) stabilizing selection
B) directional selection
C) disruptive selection
D) artificial selection

Accepted Answer

Directional selection is a mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes, causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of that phenotype. This results in the adaptation of an entire population towards one end of the spectrum of traits.
