Which of these must occur for speciation to happen?

Answer
A
reproductive isolation
B
geographic isolation
C
behavioral isolation
D
temporal isolation

Explanation

Speciation occurs when populations become reproductively isolated, meaning they no longer exchange genes through successful interbreeding. Geographic, behavioral, and temporal isolation can each help cause reproductive isolation, but none is required in every case. Therefore, the must-have condition is reproductive isolation.
