Answer: Over time the medium spiders will be most common out of the three.

Explanation: Because of natural selection the large and small spiders wil die leaving more medium spiders alive. So now the medium spiders can reproduce and make more medium spiders so there will be much more medium spiders compared the the small and large ones.
