Answer:

(A) speciation.

Explanation:

Shrinking of water bodies and development of deserts since the Pleistocene ice age produced new vacant niches that could be inhabited by organisms such as fishes. Production of new isolated streams, ponds, and springs allowed the fishes to occupy these new water bodies. Accumulation of genetic variations to become adapted to their new habitat resulted in the evolution of several new species of fishes with many different genetic traits. This represents speciation due to geographical isolation.

) what foods have high levels of iron? look at the food pyramid; items in the meat group generally have a lot of iron.
Elis [28]
Surprisingly chocolate actually contains a fair amount of iron. Red meats are known to contain iron, one thing in particular is blood (yes that is sometimes eaten, and it contains a lot of iron). Such organs of animals that are high in iron include the spleen and or marrow. 

If you wish to go vegetarian red veggies tend to be high in iron, one in particular are beets (yes, i know, they aren't red until processed)
