Solution

The correct option is B Sympatric speciation
Sympatric speciation is the process of formation of species through reproductive isolation and inhabiting the same area which takes place due to changes in the genes.
Hybridization is the process of combination of different varieties to form a hybrid.
Allopatric speciation is the process of speciation which takes place by geographical isolation.
Quantum evolution is a type of rapid evolution which takes place due to sudden and drastic changes in the environment.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
