Answer:

a. The appearance of new species in the midst of old ones

Explanation:

The process or mechanism by which the formation of the new species takes place is called speciation. On the basis of factors and conditions, there are many ways in which the speciation takes place. Such type of speciation in which the new species are formed in the presence of the old species and both can easily survive in the same geographical condition or environment is known as sympatric speciation. The main cause of this speciation is the polyploidy condition.
