Answer 1

I think its B)A period of stable weather conditions that lasts for hundreds of years, allowing a
species of grass to do well.

Answer 2

The right answer to this question is the second option: A period of stable weather conditions that lasts for hundreds of years, allowing a species of grass to do well.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formation of a new species will happen only if there's a need to it, an adaptation that an organism will do through random mutation or flexibility, this is Darwin's natural selection. On the situation above, there's no need of a new species, because the environment is stable for the organisms that live in it, they don't need to adapt at this time, they fulfill their needs quite well, and because of that, this is the right answer to the question.
