Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to the biological species concept, organisms belong to the same species if they can interbreed to produce viable, fertile offspring. Species are separated from one another by prezygotic and postzygotic barriers, which prevent mating or the production of viable, fertile offspring.

Detailed explanation-2: -A species is often defined as a group of organisms that can reproduce naturally with one another and create fertile offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is A Species. Species is the fundamental unit of taxonomic classification. Two individuals are said to belong to the same species if they can interbreed and produce fertile offsprings.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to this definition, one species is distinguished from another when, in nature, it is not possible for matings between individuals from each species to produce fertile offspring.
