Solution
The correct option is B Ecological
- Ecological isolation is a type of reproductive isolation in which mating is prevented because of the separation of species resulting from the difference in their habitat.
- This usually occurs when the species are used to different habitat types, or different parts of the same habitat. Even if the geographic range of two species overlaps, the difference in their ecological needs and breeding requirements is enough to isolate them from each other.
So, the correct answer is 'Ecological'
- Ecological isolation is a type of reproductive isolation in which mating is prevented because of the separation of species resulting from the difference in their habitat.
- This usually occurs when the species are used to different habitat types, or different parts of the same habitat. Even if the geographic range of two species overlaps, the difference in their ecological needs and breeding requirements is enough to isolate them from each other.
