In a population of rabbits that experienced a severe drought, scientists were able to measure the body size of both dead and surviving (alive) rabbits. They found that rabbits with smaller body sizes survived more than those with larger body sizes. What kind of selection process is likely to have occurred? A. directional selection B. disruptive selection C. balancing selection D. stabilizing selection

The correct answer is letter B

In this case, the extremes are favored. As an example, we can mention the species Passerina amoena, which has individuals with a bright bluish color, individuals with a brownish color and other intermediaries. In that case, the blues are better at getting territories and breeding. The brown ones are ignored by the bluish ones and are also able to reproduce. Those of intermediate color, on the other hand, are noticed by the other males and are not so specialized to achieve territories, reproducing less.
