(B) The species-area relationship was proposed by the German naturalist and geographer $Alexander 	ext{ } von 	ext{ } Humboldt$. While exploring the wilderness of South American jungles, he observed that within a region, species richness increased with increasing explored area, but only up to a limit. The relationship is described by the equation: $\log S = \log C + Z \log A$, where $S$ is species richness, $A$ is area, $Z$ is the slope of the line (regression coefficient), and $C$ is the $Y$-intercept.
