Answer: Option C.

The formation of new species over a few generations

Step-by-step explanation:

Instantaneous speciation is the sudden evolution of new species that is reproductively isolated from it's parent and it is capable of reproducing and establish a new population of species. It is a common type of sympatric speciation that result from polyploidy. It lead to formation of new species over one generation.
