Answer:

A) Regular distribution is the most common type of population distribution.

Explanation:

Population distribution in relation to space is a direct result of how individuals are “spread out” within the total area occupied by the population. The dispersion pattern can result from a biological strategy, but it can also result from the way in which the resources of the environment are dispersed. There are three main patterns of dispersion of individuals in space: cluster, random and uniform. Cluster dispersion occurs when several individuals are attracted to specific portions of the environment, or when an individual attracts other individuals close to them, forming groups. Random dispersion occurs when there is an equal probability that an individual will occur anywhere in space, regardless of the position of other individuals. And regular or uniform dispersion occurs when each individual tends to repel or eliminate another close individual, and then the individuals are more evenly spaced than would be expected by chance. Regular dispersion is the most common occurrence in nature.

Answer:

Answer above is wrong, clumped distribution is the most common.

The correct answer is E) Regular distribution occurs due to interactions with other individuals.

Explanation:

Interactions between 2 plants fighting for water and/or nutrients will lead only one to live and will evenly distribute the plants.
