What is complementary distribution principle?
The complementary distribution principle refers to a linguistic concept where two linguistic elements, such as phonemes or morphemes, never occur in the same environment or context. Instead, they are found in mutually exclusive contexts, meaning that the presence of one element excludes the possibility of the other in a given situation. This principle is often used to explain the relationship between allophones of a phoneme, where each allophone appears in specific phonetic environments, reinforcing the idea that they are variations of the same underlying phoneme.

What is allophonic variants?
An allophone is a spoken sound of language, a variation within a "phoneme." Therefore, to understand "allophone" you should first understand "phoneme." A "phoneme" is a speech sound that can change the meaning of a word. For example, in English, /t/ and /d/ are phonemes because if you change "ten" to "den," the meaning of the word changes. Allophones are variations within a phoneme: they are speech sounds that are not exactly alike but that do not (cannot) change the meaning of a word in a specific language. For example, in English you can make a /t/ or /d/ sound by putting the tip of your tongue on the top of your mouth or by putting it on your teeth. Either way, the meaning of a word will not change. Speech sounds that are phonemes in one language may be only allophonic variations in another language. For exampe, in English, /l/ and /r/ are phonemes (because "lie" and "rye" have different meanings). But in some languages, interchanging /l/ and /r/ might make the pronunciation sound strange, but it can never change the meaning of a word: the sounds are merely allophones (variations) of the same phoneme. NOTE: Most phoneticians agree that phonemes and allophones are "convenient fictions"; concepts that were invented to explain certain features of language.
