The correct answer is option A

The age of the rocks can be determined by the studying the faults that is always younger than the rocks it cuts through.

A fault is a crack or break caused in the rock. Any layer of the rock which is cut by the fault is older and the fault formed is younger.

There are many other ways which is used by the geologists to determine the age of the rock.

1) In a sedimentary rock, the layer at the bottom is the oldest. It is called as law of super position

2) If a rock layers lies below an extrusion, then it is always older than the extrusion

Answer: (B) Pre-zygotic; post-zygotic.

Explanation:

Prezygotic isolation occurs before fertilization of eggs. It occurs between the two sex gametes and deter sexual reproduction between different species.

However, individuals are considered to be diverge on the phylogeny tree and different species, when they cannot reproduce.

Mechanisms of prezygotic isolation include habitat isolation, gamete isolation, mechanical isolation, behavioral isolation, and mating seasons.

Whereas, postzygotic isolation prevents the formation of fertile offspring. This phenomenon leads to production of an hybrid offspring from different species and this is a form of speciation in nature.

Mechanisms of postzygotic isolation include hybrid inviability, hybrid breakdown, and hybrid sterility.
