Which of the following will NOT affect the distribution of a species? Group of answer choices A change in the distribution of the species' food The introduction of a predator species A localized disease Climate change A new food source outside its range of tolerance

Option D, A new food source outside its range of tolerance

Explanation:

Species gets distributed based on their ability to survive or thrive under a given environmental condition.

Basically, the factors which affect the survival of an species are only responsible for its distribution.

Food source outside the range of tolerance will not affect the survival as species nor will affect its health.

However, other factors such as climate, localized disease and change in food distribution pattern will affect the species distribution.

Hence, option D is correct

A new food source outside its range of tolerance

Explanation:

Species are distributed over the large geographical area, depending on the various factors, such as changes in the climatic conditions, the introduction of predators that are dependent on the other organisms, changes in the food distribution for the species, and the introduction of diseases. These directly affect the species distribution.

The introduction of new food source will be least effective in comparison to the above factors. This will not cause much changes in the distribution of species.

Thus, the correct answer is - A new food source outside its range of tolerance
