The speciation which geographically separates the species is known as allopatric speciation. Sympatric speciation diverges due to behavioral isolation. The two separate species will interbreed and form hybrid offspring. Sympatric populations exhibit variations in body structure. 

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
