I believe that species remain in a stage of stasis because they have completely adapted to the environment they are in and are able to live successfully without any evolutionary changes. The species has all the necessary traits in order to survive.


Answer: A) A stable ecological niche leads to absence of selection pressure, which in turn causes species to remain unmodified or in stasis.
