please give answer with proper explanation

If two species in close proximity can produce hybrid offspring, the result is a region called a
hybrid zone. The graph below shows the survival rates of two species (Species A and Species
B) and their hybrid over several generations. Which of the following best describes what will
happen to these populations in the future?
