Solution

The correct option is C Ecophene
Ecophene or epharmones or morphologically -changed forms belong to the same genotypes but having different types of phenotypes due to environmental factors and hence not affected by genes. Such changes are temporary and reversible. If one types of ecophene are transplanted into an environment of another type of ecophene, the differences would disappear.
Thus, the correct answer is C.
