In the Early Twentieth Century, a Plant Species Was Widely

In the early twentieth century, a plant species was widely distributed in large grasslands across the Midwest.As agriculture advanced, the grasslands were fragmented, forming much smaller habitats.Because the plant's seeds were dispersed by wind, many of the smaller fragments were able to receive seeds from nearby fragments.The change in the spatial distribution of this species can be described in all of these ways except as a

A) decrease in geographic range.
B) decrease in metapopulation size.
C) change from random to clumped dispersion.
D) change from a population to a metapopulation.
E) change from a metapopulation to a population.
