Answer: (A) Natural selection tend to reduce genetic variation as there was a smaller distribution of beak depths, but it tends to select for the most fit phenotypes, as there was an increase in average beak depth after the drought.
Explanation: The picture below shows proof if needed. On USATP

Natural selection tend to reduce genetic variation as a smaller allocation of beak depths, but it tends to select for the most fit phenotypes, as an increase in average beak depth after the drought.
How does natural selection affect genetic variation?
Genetic variations that vary gene and protein role.
If a trait is favourable and helps the someone survive and breed, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation.
Thus, option "A" is correct by selecting for or against a specific gene.
