Disruptive selection occurs when there is selection against the heterozygous individual, causing the population of homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individuals to increase, splitting the population into two groups corresponding to the dominant/recessive alleles.

The three patterns of natural selection are directional selection, stabilizing selection, and disruptive selection. Directional selection favors individuals at one extreme of a trait distribution, stabilizing selection favors the intermediate phenotype, and disruptive selection favors individuals at both extremes of a trait distribution.
That would be disruptive selection.

They both decrease genetic variation. Stabilizing selection and disruptive selection reduce genetic variation

Disruptive selection and directional selection are two types of natural selection that impact the evolution of a population in different ways. Disruptive selection favors extreme traits at both ends of the spectrum, leading to the divergence of a population into two distinct groups. On the other hand, directional selection favors one extreme trait, causing the population to shift towards that trait over time. In summary, disruptive selection promotes diversity within a population, while directional selection drives the population towards a specific trait.
Stabilizing selection maintains genetic variation by favoring the average traits, while disruptive selection increases genetic variation by favoring extreme traits.
