Two closely related species of animals may overlap in their ranges and yet feed, mate, and grow in separate areas, which are called habitats. If they use different habitats, this means they may rarely meet up. If so, gene flow will be greatly restricted between them. Lions and tigers can interbreed, but they never have in nature, even when their ranges overlapped in the past. One reason for this
is their largely separate habitats: Lions prefer the open grasslands, tigers the deep forests.

a. to compare the habitats of the lion and the tiger.
b. to inform the reader that closely related species of animals do not
interbreed, mostly because of different habitats.
c. to inform the reader that lions and tigers could never interbreed
regardless of habitats.
The tone of the paragraph is
a. informative. b. defensive. c. argumentative.
