Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Some herbivore-plant interactions evolved through a series of reciprocal evolutionary adaptations in both species. The process is called
A
coevolution.
B
herbivory.
C
selection.
D
trophism.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coevolution, or coevolution, is the reciprocal evolutionary change in a set of interacting populations over time resulting from the interactions between those populations. Usually, the interacting populations are different species, like plant–pollinator, predator–prey, or host–parasite.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coevolutionary theory proposes that adaptations between plants and their herbivores are reciprocal and that their interactions might have driven diversification and community composition.

Detailed explanation-3: -coevolution, the process of reciprocal evolutionary change that occurs between pairs of species or among groups of species as they interact with one another. The activity of each species that participates in the interaction applies selection pressure on the others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Herbivores and plants Similar to the predator-prey relationship, another common example of coevolution is the relationship between herbivore species and the plants that they consume. One example is that of the lodgepole pine seeds, which both red squirrels and crossbills eat in various regions of the Rocky Mountains.
