Solution

The correct option is B Mayr
According to Lotsy (1918), a species is a group of genetically identical individuals that are homozygotes at all the locus. The organism is able to interbreed with them. Ideas of Lotsy (1918) about species were later developed by Mayr.
So, the correct answer is option C.
