Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Geographic isolation is the separation of populations of animals, plants, or other organisms. They are separated to prevent exchanging genetic material with the other organism of the same species.
Typically geographic isolation is the result of an accident or coincidence.
Hence, Geographical isolation is related to speciation.
So, the correct answer is ‘Geographical isolation’.
