A female cat in heat urinates more often and in many places. Male cats congregate near the urine deposits and fight with each other. Which of the following is a proximate cause of this behaviour of increased urination?

#Section 1: Ecology
  1. It announces to the males that she is in heat.
  2. Female cats that did this in the past attracted more males.
  3. It is a result of hormonal changes associated with her reproductive cycle. 
  4. The female cat learned the behavior from observing other cats.

Speciation in ancestor as following way

A- Non-swimming populations separated by a river may gradually diverge because there is no gene flow between them

B- Plants commonly exhibit polyploidy, meaning they contain three or more sets of chromosomes

C- The tendency for two species to diverge in morphology and thus resource use because of competition

Which of the following above condition allowed to which type of speciation?
