C) evolution into two different species that can mate and interbreed.
D) different traits that allow each to better survive in its particular environment.

Answer 1

The correct answer is (D) Different traits that allow each to better survive in its particular environment.

If the population of the same species of insects have been geographically isolated from each other for a extended period of time then both the species at different places will follow the trait that will help them to survive in that particular area. It completely depends on the geographical area in which they have to survive, the population of the same species will adapt the characters that will make their survival easy.

Answer 2

D) different traits that allow each other to better survive in its particular environment.
