Replacement of dominant plant groups during evolutionary history is an example of:

A.) speciation through peripheral isolation B.) anagenesis C.) pseudoextinction D.) extinction by competition E.) recovery after mass extinction A.) speciation through peripheral isolation B.) anagenesis C.) pseudoextinction D.) extinction by competition E.) recovery after mass extinction

Ans: C.

The plants which were dominant are not extinct but replaced and most likely a relationship between the ancestors and descendants remains. Thus, pseudoextinction.
