Solution

The correct option is B Geographical separation of populations
Speciation is the evolution by which distinct species are evolved from biological populations. Allopatric speciation is also called as geographic speciation. It is a type of speciation in which biological populations of the same species become variant due to geographical separation of population. This may result in genetically distinct populations.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
