Answer:

The correct answer is - B. sympatric speciation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The allopatric speciation occurs in the population that is geographically isolated, parapatric speciation takes place due to reproductive isolation however they occupy distinct nice or habitat.

Peripatric speciation is shows resemblance to allopatric speciation in terms of preventing the exchange of genes however they occur in the small peripheral population.

Sympatric produces a reproductive barrier between the small population that shows change to the parent population.
