The area effect of the equilibrium theory of island biogeography suggests that ________.

The area effect of the equilibrium theory of island biogeography suggests that ________.
A) the number of species increases with the size of the island; all else being equal, larger islands contain more species
B) the number of individuals of each species decreases as the size of the island increases because competition decreases population sizes
C) the number of species decreases with increasing island size; all else being equal, larger islands contain fewer species
D) organism size (large or small) is what most affects the number of individuals of each species
E) the total number of species increases as an island is further from the mainland; the larger distance from the mainland, the higher the probability of speciation
