Solution
The correct option is A Allopatric Allopatric speciation is a type of speciation that occurs when populations of a species become geographically isolated. When populations become separated by the formation of a new branch of river or soil erosion, gene flow between them ceases. Over time, the populations may become genetically different in response to the natural selection imposed by their different environments.
