• A. Ecads
• B. Ecoclines
• C. Ecospecies
• D. Coenospecies

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Ecoclines

Ecoclines are intermediate forms found in the transitional regions between two adjacent regions occupied by separate ecotypes of a species. They represent a zone of gradual but continuous change in species characteristics or environmental conditions across a geographic gradient. This contrasts with ecads, ecosystem species, and coenospecies, which have different ecological meanings.
