A group of interbreeding individuals belonging to a particular species and sharing a common geographic area is called:
Correct answer: D. Population
- A. Community
- B. Family
- C. Race
- D. Population
Explanation
A population refers to a group of individuals of the same species that live in a specific geographic area and can interbreed. This is distinct from a community, which involves multiple species living together. A family is a taxonomic rank that does not imply a shared geographic area, and a race involves specific populations within a species, which may not be confined to one location.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
