Stabilizing selection.
Differential selection is just that, differential. Some variation is marginally superior to another variation us fitness difference, so the key is to have variation. Then natural selection will " see " this slight variation and select the better adapted trait against the background of the immediate environment.
Overproduction, variation, selection, and adaptation
No. Natural selection requires reproductive variation to work on. Besides reproductive variation and natural selection, there are various forces, biochemical as well as population dynamical, that affect the allelic composition of a population.

They both decrease genetic variation. Stabilizing selection and disruptive selection reduce genetic variation
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
Natural selection doesn't reduce variation. Variation is regulated by the rate of mutation.Natural selection reduces the chance of bad variation from being passed on and increases the chances for good variation to be passed on.
Artificial selection.
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
The genetic variation introduced during recombination provides new allelic combinations for natural selection to act upon.
Natural selection.
no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon
