The correct option is this: TAN'S MOTHER COULD THINK OF SEVERAL WAYS TO ANSWER A QUESTION LIKE THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE EXCERPT.
From the passage, it can be seen that, Tan's mother believed that so many things would have fit exactly into those blanks that are present in the questions given to Tan.

Answer:
The correct answer is- adaptive radiation
Explanation:
Adaptive radiation is the evolutionary process which allow the evolution of many species from a single species because some population of that species get into an environment which is different from their old environment in terms of food availability, predators, etc.
So the first bird that evolved the ability to fly branched into many different species due to habitat change is an example of adaptive radiation. The most famous example of adaptive radiation is Darwinian finches which evolved from an ancestral species of south America that reached Galapagos island.
According to an article/websites, the link stated below, plankton dominates the "limnetic" zone of freshwater ecosystems, which make sense since this is the topmost layer. This is the zone that receives the most sunlight, thus the plants can photosynthesize better than those at the lower levels. Plankton will rarely be found in the lowest zone as there is little to no sunlight there. The lower in the lake/freshwater ecosystem you go, the less plankton you'll find because of their lack of ability to photosynthesize. You can refer to the website below and other books/websites like it for more in-depth information on plankton and their role in freshwater ecosystems. Hope this helps.
