Correct answer

D. Gene flow does not occur between the populations of a species

Step-by-step solution

Gene flow means the spread of genes through populations as affected by movements of individual and their propagules e.g., spores, seeds etc. Gene flow ensures that all populations of a given species share a common gene pool i.e., it reduces difference between populations. The interruption of gene flow between populations is a pre-requisite for the formation of new species.
