Stabilizing selection is the process through which natural selection favors individuals who exhibit the trait's mean value. Because of this, stabilizing selection works to reward those with moderate phenotypes and exclude individuals with extreme traits. As a result, intermediate phenotypes grow in number. This method of selection tends to conserve a certain phenotypic trait while reducing variance.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
