Answer:

A) a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and interbreed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A species is defined as living things that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. Fertile offspring are capable of producing their own offspring.

An example of a population would be all of the Canada lynx that live in the state of Minnesota.
