In balancing selection, two or more alleles are kept in balance, and therefore are maintained in a population over the course of many generations. Which of the following example can support balancing natural selection?

B. One morph has selective advantage over another morph

C. One homozygote has greater chance of survival than other genotype results in purity of population
