Step 1
D. gene flow is occurring between populations in areas B and C.
Answer
This conclusion can be drawn because gene flow typically occurs in populations that are in close proximity to one another, allowing for genetic material to be transferred. If there is genetic exchange between the populations of areas B and C, it could lead to similarities in traits such as copper tolerance, indicating that the populations are not completely isolated. This possibility is consistent with the dynamics observed in ecological studies of gene flow.
