If fossil evidence of the most recent common ancestor of A and B (10 million years ago) was found on both sides of the river (that formed 20 million years ago), then the distribution of A and B is best explained by vicariance. ( choose true or false) 2- It is possible that species C will speciate. ( choose true or false) 3- The distribution of the two species-C populations cannot be explained by two totally independent dispersal events by the common ancestor species of A and B. ( choose true or false) 4- B must share a more recent common ancestor with C1 than it does with C2. (choose true or false)
Please help with these as they are part of 1 question and I am so confused. I really need help like never before and I will highly consider thumbs up but please help asap.

![Question 10
A, B, and C are three different island species and all share a common ancestor. Their
ranges are shown in the diagram below. Note that A and B are on a separate island
from species C. Species A andB are isolated from one another by a river. There are
two populations of species C (C1 and C2) that are isolated from one another by a
mountain range.
C2
A
Mountain
River
Is the following statement consistent with the data presented in the diagram, above?
Choose True for yes, the statement is consistent with the diagram.
Choose False for no, the statement is not consistent with the diagram.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F53a2157d-6858-4b9b-956e-55dfa7728fad%2Fdac7806a-c4f8-4f0b-87ad-fd570f96ddfc%2F3jwuvl3_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
