As we have already discussed in the Mechanism of Evolution: Reproductive Isolation -

 

Temporal isolation: Individuals of different species do not mate because they are active at different times of the day or in different seasons. 
Ecological isolation: Individuals mate in their preferred habitat, and therefore do not meet individuals of other species with different ecological preferences. 
Behavioral isolation: Potential mates meet, but choose members of their own species. 
Mechanical isolation: Copulation is attempted, but a transfer of sperm does not take place.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
