Solution

The correct option is C Interbreeding
As per the definition given by Ernst Mayr in 1964: "A species is a group of actually or potentially inbreeding populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups."
A species may have subgroups, called subspecies or varieties, showing certain distinct features of their own.
