Solution
The correct option is B Sympatric Two species or populations are considered to be sympatric when they exist in the same geographic area and thus regularly encounter one another. For example, Nicaragua crater lake cichlid fishes include nine described species and dozens of undescribed species that have evolved by sympatric speciation.
