Parapatric speciation takes place when

  • a small segment of the original population becomes isolated reproductively

  • a part of the population becomes geographically isolated from the main population

  • a very different daughter species bud off from a semi- isolated peripheral population of ancestral species

  • a population of a species enters a new habitat

Solution

D.

a population of a species enters a new habitat

Parapatric speciation separates adjacent population. It takes place when a population of a species enters a new niche or habitat. It occurs only at the edge of the parent species range. No physical, but gene flow does not occur due to the occupancy of new niche.
