The answer is D: members of a different populations can no longer mate successfully


Or if they do reproduce their offspring will be sterile meaning their offspring won't be able to reproduce. An example would be a horse and a donkey mating. They usually produce sterile offspring.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.
