Solution
The correct option is A Mule
Reproductive isolation refers to a set of mechanisms that prevent animals of the same group from breeding. These are reproductive barriers that do not allow the species to mate and produce offspring.
Mule is an example of low hybrid viability type of reproductive isolation.
Even though horses and donkeys can mate and produce healthy offspring, the offsprings thus produced termed mules cannot pass their genetic information down to future generations, so they are a genetic dead-end. There is no gene flow through infertile hybrids.
