The answer is B.

A is not even true generally, species won't stray from their own (especially just for environment) unless under drastic circumstances.

C is somewhat true but not as specific as B, speciation has to do with interbreeding and barriers related to it.

D is obviously just the opposite of what happens with speciation. It is due to either biological or geographical barriers inhibiting breeding that causes speciation to occur.
