Olin [163]

Answer:

Option-4

Explanation:

In the given question, S. alterniflora grows in the seaward marsh whereas  S. patensis grows in the high marsh. When  S. alterniflora is removed, the S. patensis grows to a smaller portion whereas if S. patensis is removed, the  S. alterniflora covers all the land.

This shows that although both are different species but they share a niche and the marsh land is the fundamental niche of the  S. alterniflora as it can grow in all parts and therefore its distribution is limited by only a realised niche.

Thus, Option-4 is correct.
