The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (C) : Behavioural isolation

The prohibition of interbreeding between populations of a species that are present in various habitats is known as reproductive isolation. It preserves the traits of the species while also contributing to speciation, the creation of new species. Therefore, "Reproductive isolation" is the right response.

Evolution

Evolution is a process that occurs in changes in the genetic content of a population over time. Evolutionary change is generally classified into two: microevolution and macroevolution. The process of changes in allele frequencies in a population over time is a microevolutionary process. Three main mechanisms that cause allele frequency change are natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. On the other hand, macroevolution refers to change at or above the level of the species.
