A
develop different mating behaviors
B
become geographically separated
C
reproduce at different times
D
interbreed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Temporal isolation happens when two or more species reproduce at different times. For example, three species of orchid live in the same rain forest. Each species has flowers that last only one day and must be pollinated on that day to produce seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two species might reproduce at different times of the day or year and thus be unlikely to meet up when seeking mates. This is called temporal isolation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temporal isolation prevents species from interbreeding due to differences in the timing of mating or fertility, such as having different mating seasons. Behavioral isolation prevents species from interbreeding due to a difference in mating rituals or behaviors.

Detailed explanation-4: -Behavioral Isolation Meaning Also known as ethological isolation, it occurs when two populations are capable of interbreeding, but don’t breed because of differences in their courtship rituals.
