Statement I and II are correct

Post-mating isolating mechanisms will have hybrid inviability and gametic incompatibility.  A postzygotic barrier that limits a hybrid's ability to develop into a strong and healthy adult is known as hybrid inviability. The transfer of sperm that takes place without fertilization is known as gametic incompatibility.

Statement III and IV incorrect 

Copulation occurs at the mechanical isolation that comes under a premating isolating mechanism. Post-mating isolating mechanism does not have zygotic immortality.

Option 2 is the correct answe.
