Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Organizing organisms into recognizable structures or patterns
B Vertical zonation of a particular landscape

Stratification deals with organizing organisms into recognizable structures and patterns. This process depends on the physical and physiological need of the species. If we are to take a landscape, the vertical zones in the landscape based on the height of the trees in the area is what we call as stratas. This process of zonation is called stratification.
