Answer:

Student B

Explanation:

<em>Student B's argument is the best argument out of the four students's argument.</em>

<u>A new island formed as a result of volcanic eruption will have to undergo processes that will enable its colonization by living organisms - a form of primary succession. The living organisms that will colonize the newly formed island are referred to as pioneer species.</u>

Generally, succession represents a gradual change in the species structure of a community over a period of time. Sometimes, this change can take thousands of years as some species keep getting replaced by another species till a relatively stable community (climax community) is reached.

Succession that happens when an area that has not held any form of life before is colonized by life is known as primary succession.

When an area that holds different species of living organisms undergo a period of disturbance to its structure, it tries to adjust itself over time and the kind of succession that takes place is known as secondary succession.

Which hip bone forms the superioir part of the pelvic girlde that extends upward from the acetabulum
Mars2501 [29]

The ischium bone forms the superior part of the pelvic girdle.

<h3>What is the structure of the pelvic girdle?</h3>

In the bottom region of the trunk, there is a bony structure known as the pelvic girdle that resembles a ring. It joins the lower limbs to the axial skeleton. There are two types of pelvises: the bigger pelvic and the lesser pelvis.

The pelvis is made up of two paired hipbones that are joined at the pubic symphysis in front and by the sacrum in back. Each hipbone is composed of three bones: the blade-shaped ilium above and to either side, which determines the hips' width; the ischium below, on which the weight is placed when sitting; and the pubis in front. Early in maturity, all three come together at a triangle suture in the acetabulum, the cup-shaped socket that connects to the head of the femur to create the hip joint.
