A larger national park and a smaller national park, otherwise identical, are completely surrounded by cornfields and Walmart parking lots, and have been surrounded for a century. You count the number of species of trees in each park. You probably will find:a. More species in the smaller park, because it lacks predators that keep diversity down. b. More species in the smaller park, because the smaller size has caused faster evolution. c. More species in the larger park, because it can hold more individuals thus reducing the risk of extinction. d. The same number of species in the smaller park as in the larger park. e. More species in the larger park, because it is more likely to have a Diet Pepsi distributor who pours acidic drinks on the inhabitants.

    c. More species in the larger park, because it can hold more individuals thus reducing the risk of extinction

    Explanation:

    The option a is incorrect because more species in the smaller park is not possible due to limited space. The option b is incorrect because more species in smaller is not possible as the space is limited and it can't hold large number of species. The option c is correct as larger parks has larger space so they can hold large number of species and this will minimize the probability of extinction. The option d is incorrect as the number of species can't be same in both parks as they don't have same areas.
