D is the best answer because c and b have nothing to do with mating and being in the same family doesn't matter

The right answer answer is the same species.

* Pregygotic barriers prevent mating or ovum from being fertilized if different species attempt to mate. There are four barriers in this category.

* Postzygotic barriers occur after fertilization between different species. The hybrid zygote formed may be abnormal or infertile. There are three barriers in this category.

-The non-viability of hybrids

-The sterility of hybrids

-The lapse of hybrids
