    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Gene flow means the spread of genes through populations as affected by movements of individual and their propagules .e.g., spores, seeds etc. Gene flow ensures that all populations of a given species share a common gene pool .i.e., it reduces difference between populations. The interruption of gene flow between populations is  a pre- requisite for the formation of new species.
