Natural selection can lead to .

  1. A and C only
  2. A only
  3. A, C and D only
  4. A, B, C and D

Answer

(3) A, C and D only

Solution

According to NCERT, natural selection can lead to stabilisation (in which more individuals acquire mean character value), directional change (more individuals acquire value other than the mean character value), or disruption (more individuals acquire peripheral character value at both ends of the distribution curve). Genetic drift is a separate evolutionary mechanism caused by chance events.
