Occurrence of higher number of endemic species in South America and Australia is due to

Where would the greatest number of endemic species occur and why ? (a) Small volcanic archipelagos, such as the Galapagos Islands, because the abundance of unoccupied habitats favours the adaptive divergence of colonists from nearby mainland populations. (b) Large oceanic island, such as Australia, because the inhabitants have been isolated from mainland populations for a very long time. (c) On rugged landscapes, such as Patagonia, because of the high levels of natural disturbance by glaciers and earthquakes. (d) Temperate woodlands, such as those in southern England, because of the high levels of disturbance by human activity and the history of artificial selection.

Island biogeography theory states that the number of species on an island is determined by immigration rates of new species to the island and extinction rates of species on the island. Immigration rates to an island decline as its distance from the mainland increases adn extinction rates decreases with increasing island size. when the immigration and extinction rates on an island are equal, the number of species on the island reaches equilibrium. Which of the following gives the correct combination of distance (near and far) and area (small and large of islands where species (S_(1) -S_(4)) occur ?
