Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about trait distribution, we analyze each option:

• The first option refers to different traits in a population, not their distribution.
• The second option describes population distribution (spatial spread), not trait distribution.
• The third option correctly defines trait distribution as how variation in traits is spread across a population.
• The fourth option refers to traits in a species, not their distribution.

Answer:

C. Distribution describes how the variation in traits is spread across a population.
