Solution

Sympatric speciation occurs most commonly in plants.

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation occurs most commonly in plants. This is often due to mechanisms like polyploidy, where chromosome number changes lead to reproductive isolation without geographic barriers. Such speciation can occur within the same geographic area, allowing new species to coexist with the parent species.
