Explanation / Answer

These species are example of sympatric speiation with a temporal premating behaviour.

Option (5) sympatric,temporal

It is sympatric because both the species are in same geographical area and it is temporal beacuse the species are isolated by time .(temporal isolation means separated by time)

Option (3) polyploid speciation has the potential to occur most rapidly because here the ploidy number(chromosome no.) change in progeny and so progeny immediately becomes different from parent species.
