The correct answer is "T" True.

Explanation:

A generalists species is defined as a group of organisms that can survive in a wide range of environmental conditions and are able to use different resources of food and energy. Most generalists are omnivores, the classic example is the raccoon, a mammal that lives in different habitats at Central and North America. A biome that experiences large seasonal fluctuations in both temperature and precipitation patterns will have a wide range of environmental conditions, which will benefit the reproduction of generalists species.
