Explanation:

The text mentions different top - speeds of animals due to different means of locomotion. "Variation" means a difference or divergence from a standard or average, which accurately describes the differences in top - speeds. "Correspondence" implies a similarity or connection, "equivalence" suggests equality, and "ambiguity" refers to being unclear or having multiple meanings, none of which fit the context as well as "variation".

Answer:

D. variation
