B is the right answer. Gentoo and Emperor penguins employing different mating rituals is an example of behavioral isolation. Behavioral isolation is the umbrella term for a host of differences between species, although in the case of different mating behaviors this variety of behavioral isolation is intended to prevent cross-breeding between different members of the same species in the same environment.
