Solution

The correct option is B directional as it pushes the mean of the character in one direction
Artificial selection is the intentional reproduction of animals or plant breeding in a population to produce animals or plants with desirable traits of higher yield, nutrition and resistance to diseases. Since, this method selects only the desirable traits, it pushes the mean of the character in one direction.
