Answer: Mechanical Isolation
Explanation:
Mechanical isolation is a type of barrier that prevents the species that are closely related from mating with each other.
It is used in case of plants and animals(here beetles) in which the without compatible sex organs individual of different species will not be able to mate and produce offspring.
Thus, the correct answer is option C
PROS: It dissolves in water and lowers the freezing point of water so a lower temperature is required for ice to form. This makes the road less treacherous for vehicles. Road salt is usually cheap and readily available. Since salt is already a constituent of sea water, it does not cause pollution when washed away.
CONS: Salt dissolved in water is corrosive to metal. A metalled road surface may eventually be attacked by the corrosive, leading to damage of the surface. The salt solution is splashed on to the bodies and into the engine parts of vehicles and, unless properly protected, the metal parts of the vehicle will become corroded. Salt solution is a good conductor of electricity so it could under certain circumstances affect the electrical circuits within vehicles. When the salt solution dries out it leaves a deposit of white salt on the surface. The spreading of road salt is often carried out by specially equipped vehicles, so there is a cost incurred in salt spreading. Usually salt is mixed with grit.
