#16 - Concept Reference, Cannot Be True

[LSAT2018]

Lines 54-59 indicate, in the grassland, where 12 percent of the habitat is available for occupation by A. aperta, Riechert predicts that spiders will be more willing to engage in escalated fighting than in the riparian habitat, where 90 percent of the habitat is suitable for occupation. So would this be inconsistent with the answer (D) that spiders in the riparian habitat are as willing to engage in escalated fighting?
