The body weight of offspring of bird species is range between 12 gm to 18 gm. In a laboratory experiment, species was subjected to selection pressure having influence on the offspring body weight. After many generations of experimental selection pressure, the body weight range between 14 gm to 16 gm. Which of the following natural selection operate on this species?
