Which of the following terms correctly describes a population that becomes divided into separate subpopulations

that live in the same area?

1. Convergent

2. Sympatric

3. Allopatric

4. Geopatric

The correct option is 2) Sympatric

Explanation:

There are numerous types of speciation methods which depend on area to area. Sympatric speciation can be described as a method of speciation in which new species form from the ancestor species through evolution but both the new and the ancestral species continue to inhabit the land. Hence, the correct option is sympatric.

Other options like, allopatric, is not correct because it describes a population that becomes divided into two geographically separate sub-populations.
