Question

which of the following explanations is best supported by the data shown in the map above?
a earths climate has changed over geological time, and plates on earths crust have shifted.
b sea level rise has led to an increased concentration of wildlife inland as the coastal areas flood.
c organisms adapt to human population growth by changing at the genetic level.
d animals migrate seasonally to mate and to find food in different habitats.

Explanation:

The map shows different areas for overwintering, spring breeding, spring and summer breeding, and summer breeding, along with fall and spring migration arrows. This indicates seasonal movement of animals for mating (breeding areas) and finding food (moving to different habitats seasonally). Option A about geological - time climate change and plate shift is not shown. Option B about sea - level rise is not depicted. Option C about genetic - level adaptation to human population growth is not indicated.

Answer:

D. Animals migrate seasonally to mate and to find food in different habitats.
