B

C

D

Answer
allopatric species
Explanation
Solution
Allopatric species are related to groups of similar organisms that could interbreed but do not because they are geographically separated. Sympatric species are in close proximity and theoretically capable of interbreeding, but do not interbreed because of differences in behaviour. Sibling species are diode that have both parents in common. Endangered species are those defined by IUCN as being in immediate danger of extinction because its population numbers have reached a critical level or its habitats have been drastically reduced.
