Answer:

Hi, there your answer is D. Have one group live with a much stronger predator.

Explanation:

Having one group live with a much stronger predator will most likely increase the chances of speciation.

What is speciation?

  • It is a process by which a new species of an organism is created.
  • It occurs due to evolution.
  • It occurs when a portion of population gets separated from the original population and evolves different characters that are heritable.

Will speciation occur if :

  • one group breeds twice as often as the other? No, because no selective force is acting on it.
  • both groups are in identical ecosystem? No, since no reason for adapting and evolving a new character will be there.
  • both groups interbreed? No, there is no competition, no struggle for existence and hence no evolution occurs.
  • one group lives with a strong predator? Yes, since they will evolve evasive mechanisms and characters.
