• A. Hanski’s rule
• B. Rapoport’s rule
• C. Theory of island biogeography
• D. Allee effect

Hint:

Remember, Rapoport’s rule highlights the inverse relationship between latitude and species’ range size.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

1. Rapoport’s rule states that species in polar regions tend to have larger geographical ranges compared to those in tropical regions.
2. This is attributed to their ability to adapt to broader environmental variations.
