disruptive selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph
disruptive selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph

stabilizing selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph
stabilizing selection; a tall, narrow peak in the center of the graph

stabilizing selection; two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle
stabilizing selection; two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle

disruptive selection; two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle

Answer 1

; two peaks at the extremes of the graph with a dip in the middle

This type of selection is disruptive selection, where individuals with traits at both extremes of the spectrum are favored over those with intermediate traits. This would result in a distribution curve with two peaks at the extremes and a dip in the middle.
