is the study of how and why plants and animals live where they do. It also provides evidence for evolution. a Biogeography b Zoology c Geography d None of the above

The correct answer is: **a. Biogeography** **Explanation:** Biogeography is the study of the distribution of plants and animals in geographic space and through geological time. It explores how and why different species are found in specific locations and examines the factors that influence their distribution patterns. Biogeography provides evidence for evolution by highlighting patterns such as species distribution resulting from common ancestry, adaptive radiation, and the effects of geographical barriers on speciation. - **Zoology** (option b) specifically focuses on the study of animals. - **Geography** (option c) is a broader field that examines the Earth's landscapes, environments, and the relationships between people and their environments. - **None of the above** (option d) is incorrect since option a accurately describes the study in question.
