Which of the following statements best describes the relative advantages and disadvantages of the Biological Species Concept?

a. This species concept defines species as individuals that can successfully interbreed however modern genetic and computational tools are often necessary to make sense of these data
b. This species concept groups together individuals as the same species based on genetic similarity and evolutionary history however it struggles to distinguish species that reproduce asexually
c. This species concept distinguishes species based on their ability to interbreed, however this concept does not apply well to organisms that reproduce asexually or that never have the opportunity to meet in the wild
d. This species concept best applies to any species for which we have genetic data though it is difficult to distinguish species based on morphological differences
e. This species concept is the easiest to apply as it groups individuals based on morphological similarity however these similarities can often be misleading due to natural variation or differences in life cycles
