The answer for this question is letter c. Stabilizing selection is the contradictory or opposite of disruptive selection. As opposed to preferring individuals with extreme phenotypes, it favoritisms the middle variants (as seen in the graphs). It decreases phenotypic disparity and maintains the status quo.
