The fern should be found on the west side of the mountain ranges at higher elevations because the prevailing winds are from the west off the Pacific Ocean so bring moisture in the clouds and as the clouds rise up over the westernmost mountains they cool off and precipitate so in the warm seasons rain would be concentrated in this area and higher up would be cooler.
I would say the best option is "A". The climate in the arctic is full of snow, which is also white. It helps the arctic fox and snowshoe rabbit to hide. I didn't say inter species competition because they aren't competing for the same resource. (rabbit, vegetarian; fox, carnivore)
I hope this helps you!
Brainliest answer is always appreciated!
