Statement I and II are true about allopatric speciation

Geographical barriers play a role in allopatric speciation because they physically separate populations. Physical isolation can also emerge from animal and plant movements. Genetic drift may cause unintentional variations in gene pools.

Statement III and IV are wrong

Allopatric speciation does not take place at the boundaries of the parent population. Genetic divergence effects in reproductive incompatibility in allopatric speciation.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
