Solution:

According to the graph, we have that the selection present in the given population is the stabilizing selection or normalizing selection. This selection is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity declines according to a particular characteristic. For example, organisms with characteristics of the average range survive the longest, according to the graph.

So that, the correct answer is: stabilizing selection.
