Hi there!
A prezygotic isolating mechanism is a mechanism that causes something to happen, not allowing the organisms to breed before fertilization. I'll explain each one for you.
A - That is postzygotic because the organisms were not stopped before fertilization. The result is a sterile organism.
B - Again, that is postzygotic because the organism was produced.
C - This is prezygotic! The sperm dying shows that something is in action to prevent fertilization, meaning that it cannot happen.
D - Fertilization was successful, so it is postzygotic.
ANSWER:
C - the sperm dies when it reaches the female tract

Answer:
b. A transferase deficiency will result in an accumulation of the toxic metabolite galactosse 1-phosphate.
c. A galactokinase deficiency will cause an accumulation of galactose.
Explanation:
Transferase is an enzyme which is responsible for the breakdown of galactose which is a known milk sugar. Its deficiency causes the formation of toxic materials such as galactose-1-phosphate which comes from galactose, and galactitol. Galactokinase is also an enzyme which helps in the conversion of galactose into galactose 1-phosphate with the expenditure of ATP molecule, so its deficiency causes the deposition of galactose.
Sexual reproduction offers genetic variation, as the offspring are a combination of 2 sets of genes opposed to one. This ultimately leads to evolution and the adaption to changing environments :)
