The correct answer is:

C) The undivided terrarium will have more species than the divided one.

Explanation:

Through time the species of the divided terrarium will face some problems of conservation. Once some of the species present in only one side of the divided terrarium die, they would not be able to reproduce themselves on the other side of the glass, it means they will disappear in time. Nevertheless, in the undivided terrarium it would be more conditions and space for the species present in this place to reproduce, conserve, and expand throughout this field.
