Answer: Adaptive radiation refers to the ability of living organisms to evolve rapidly from an ancestral forms into variety of other forms especially when the organisms move into a new environment that has abundant resources. The resources, which are present abundantly in the environment allow the living organisms to spread out in the environment and to find different habitats in the environments that favour their survival.In the question given above, adaptive radiation allows plants to fill different habitats (niches) that are found on land and to spread out rapidly.
Hope this helps :)

The answer is; C
This phenomenon is called bottleneck effect and drastically affects small populations in comparison to large ones. The mudslide wipes off most of the population B at the base of the hill base. Due to their small population, a large proportion of the population is lost and the pollution loses most of its alleles leaving a small proportion to continue the population succession. Its diversity is hence reduced as it repopulates. The larger population is not greatly affected because it covers much of the hillside.
I think it is b, please tell me if I’m wrong
