Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

In allopatric speciation (species formation), a part of the population becomes geographically isolated from the main population. The population becomes entirely separated and finally constitutes a new species. In sympatric spciation, a small segment of the original population becomes isolated reproductively. as the isolating mechanisms comes into force, a new subspecies emerges. in due course of time a new species is formed.
