B) The effect of the lava flow on allopatric speciation will depend on the identity and traits of the various species present,including their abundance and respective mobility within the valley.
C) The effects of the lava flow on speciation will depend on to what extent the various individuals present at the time can adapt to the new lava in the environment.
