The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about species that are found in different geographical areas. We need to identify the correct term that describes this concept. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Allochronic - Allopatric - Sympatric - Siblings 3. **Defining Each Term**: - **Allochronic**: Refers to species that do not occur together in the same time period, rather than geographical separation. - **Allopatric**: Refers to species that are geographically separated from each other, leading to speciation due to isolation. - **Sympatric**: Refers to species that live in the same geographical area and can coexist. - **Siblings**: Refers to species that are morphologically similar but cannot interbreed due to reproductive barriers. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Since the question specifically asks for species that live in different geographical areas, the correct term is "Allopatric." This term directly relates to species that are separated by geographical barriers, which prevents gene flow between populations. 5. **Final Answer**: The species living in different geographical areas are called **Allopatric species**. ---
