In peppered moth populations, light and dark moths are selected for in different environments. Which type of selection is this, and what would a distribution curve for all peppered moths look like?
A. disruptive selection; two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle
B. stabilizing selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph
C. disruptive selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph
D. stabilizing selection; two
peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle.

In this scenario, light and dark moths are being selected for in different environments, leading to a bimodal distribution with two peaks at the extremes representing the light and dark moths, and a dip in the middle representing the intermediate individuals. This is characteristic of disruptive selection.
