Answer:

Organisms with extreme traits survive in case of disruptive selection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection, also known as diversifying selection. This type of selection eliminates the intermediate values in the population.

The organisms with extreme traits are favored in the disruptive selection. The population with extreme values is divided into two distinct group in this type of selection. This distribution curve has peripheral character value at both the ends.

Thus, organism that have extreme traits will survive in a population in case of disruptive selection.
