Variant 1 is correct. Ecotype is a group of organisms within a species that is adapted to particular environmental conditions and therefore exhibits behavioural, structural, or physiological differences from other members of the species. Races of humans appeared because of adaptation to different conditions. For example, Africans are black because they produce melanin, which protects them from the sun.
