Solution

The correct option is B Temporal segregation of breeding season
Sympatric speciation means speciation in the same location as the ancestral species. Different breeding season can give rise to a new species If location is the same. Different breeding season will ultimately lead to reproductive isolation and hence new species. Geographical barriers and spatial separation are important in Allopatric speciation.
So, the correct answer is 'temporal segregation of breeding season'
