Answer 2

Answer: Option D

The closely related species can share their habitat. In the areas where both the frogs (leopard and pickerel) overlap each other can be separated.

There are different types of mechanism available for the isolation such as mechanical, behavioral or the various types of physiological processes.

The frogs will remain separated from each other if they will reproduce at different times of the season.
