Reinforcement is most likely to drive the evolution of
A)prezygotic isolating mechanisms,because selection favors alleles that prevent hybridization.
B)postzygotic isolating mechanisms,because selection acts after the formation of hybrids.
C)prezygotic isolating mechanisms,because selection favors alleles that promote hybridization.
D)postzygotic isolating mechanisms,because hybrids have low fitness relative to the parents.
