A.What does geographic isolation lead to?
I could see more than one of these answers being correct. Isolation may lead to ecological specialization, but not necessarily. I believe reproductive isolation is the best answer. Increased species diversity may be a possible outcome when viewing both the isolated and original populations as a whole, but diversity within the isolated group is likely to decrease.
C--Reproductive Isolation, which leads to speciation.
