In disruptive selection, the distribution curve for a trait typically exhibits a change where it splits into two or more distinct peaks (bimodal distribution) representing individuals with extreme traits at both ends, rather than a shift to the right, left, or middle. Therefore, none of the provided options perfectly describe the outcome of disruptive selection.
If you have to choose one from the given options, the closest correct answer regarding the splitting into extremes would be that it shifts to the right and the left, as this implies the emergence of distinct peaks on either side.
