Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection that favors intermediate phenotypes and selects against extreme phenotypes (e.g., very small or very large traits in a population). The option "Selects against the majority" is incorrect as stabilizing selection favors the majority (intermediate) phenotype. "Selects against overweight phenotypes" is too specific and not a general definition of stabilizing selection.

Answer:

A. Selects against extreme phenotypes
