Detailed explanation-1: -Clumped dispersion occurs when species gather together and form groups, such as fish that form schools. A. Clumped.
Detailed explanation-2: -Instead, they form groups or clusters, which is known as a clumped dispersion pattern.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dispersion pattern (distribution pattern) of a population describes the arrangement of individuals within a habitat at a particular point in time, and broad categories of patterns are used to describe them. The three dispersion patterns are clumped, random, and uniform (figure 5.1. a).
Detailed explanation-4: -Clumped patterns usually occur when resources are concentrated in small areas within a larger habitat or because of individuals forming social groups. At large spatial scales most organisms appear to have clumped distributions because their habitats are not uniformly distributed over wide areas.
