Solution
The correct option is C Allopatric species
In allopatric speciation, a part of the population becomes geographically isolated from the main population. The population becomes entirely separated and finally constitutes a new species. Formation of Darwin's finches that formed separate species in Galapagos Islands is an example of allopatric speciation.
