Answer:

The correct answer is - decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of selection against the mutation to affect the slope of best fit line of genetic differences decreases in between viral population due to the reduced viral genetic differences. The reason behind this is genetic variation in the population decreases.

Thus, the correct answer is - decreases.
