    B)  Behavioural isolation

    C)  Temporal isolation  

    D)  Mechanical isolation

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Temporal isolation is one prezygotic reproductive barrier. It means isolated in time, so, this is a mechanism that prevents species from mating because they breed at different times. These differences can be time of day, season, or even different years. Both plants and animals may exhibit temporal isolation, even if species are closely related and live in the same habitat.
