A flock of birds with various beak sizes migrates to a new island where their traditional food is not available

However, there are plants that produce a variety of large nuts, which can be eaten by birds with the largest beaks, and plants that produce a variety of small, soft seeds, which can be eaten by birds with the smallest beaks. Over time, this population divides into two species with large and small beaks. This is an example of A) directional selection. B) stabilizing selection. C) disruptive selection. D) sexual selection. E) genetic drift.
