Stabilizing selection operates when phenotypic features coincide with optimal environmental conditions. It favors the intermediate or mean character value and eliminates both phenotypic extremes, keeping the population adapted to its stable environment.

Answer: This kind of selection is seen in African seed cracker finches.
