Answer 3

Stabilizing selection is what you're going to see in an environment that hasn't changed in a long time and isn't changing now.
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.
Disruptive selection, also called diversifying selection, describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.
They all have different graphs that you can take look at. i don't think it is b
