SOMEONE PLEASE HELP Which of the following examples is MOST likely to result in the formation of a new species? Select one: A
A farmer applies a new fertilizer to her crops in order to encourage a much greater yield of corn.

B
An invasive species is introduced into the sea when an oil tanker releases the water it uses to float near a coral reef.

C
Many trees are knocked down when a new road is paved through a forest where many animal species live.

D
A fish population is divided when a long drought causes a lake to separate into two smaller bodies of water,​

D

Explanation: The important thing to notice in this question is that it's asking for the FORMATION of a NEW species. That detail automatically removes B as the answer, because, while an invasive species could lead to a new species, it isn't likely, and there's the fact that B is talking about the INTRODUCTION of a species that already exists.

A could be correct, but fertilizer isn't likely to lead to a new species, as well as C, which would lead to a LOSS in species and biodiversity.

D is correct because it is an example of Allopatric Speciation, which is when one species converges into 2 species because of a physical barrier.

I hope this helps. Have a great week!
