Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	Geographic isolation
B	Behavioral isolation
C	Temporal isolation
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Allopatric speciation (1) occurs when a species separates into two separate groups which are isolated from one another. A physical barrier, such as a mountain range or a waterway, makes it impossible for them to breed with one another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Example of Geographic Isolation Geographic isolation occurs when two populations of the same species are divided by some type of geographic event or object. This event or object physically prevents two populations from being in the same area, preventing them from mating.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Allopatric speciation refers to the process by which a physical barrier separates a single population, causing two (or more) populations to arise and evolve due to environmental differences to become different species.
