The mandible lengths of the camellia weevil (used to break through the pericarp of the Japanese camellia fruit) vary in the northern and southern regions of the country where fruit sizes are also extremely different. Southern weevil populations have longer mouthparts but are not sufficient to bore into the thick pericarp of the fruits; In the north, the insect mouthparts may be shorter but the weevils are more successful in boring through the skin of the smaller fruits. This study depicts an example of ______ coevolution. A. escalatory B. diffuse C. antagonistic D. reciprocal
