Islands are well known for having many endemic (unique) species. What is a likely explanation for this pattern? O A. The type of organism that is a good colonizer has more than the average amount of genetic variability, so it's more likely to speciate. O B. Colonizers encounter fewer competitors on an island, so they can diversify. O C. Islands are more complex habitats than continents are, so they have more niches for specializations. O D. Humans bring partly or fully domesticated species with them when they arrive on islands. O E. Colonizers are likely to have more diversity than local populations and thus outcompete them. «< Question A Moving to another question will save this response.
