A group of antelope separate from their population and travel to a new area in search of food. They remain in the new location and evolve until they are no longer able to breed with members of their original population.
Which process of new species formation does this scenario describe?
mutation
migration
isolation
adaptive radiation
I think it's isolation, but not positive

Hi! @tiffany.starr 
Ok so here lets try to eliminate the answer..
Its not at all mutation! So its not A
Its a group of antelopes travelling..so its not migration..(Just imgine!)
and adaptive radiation is not possible because their characteristic do not change wrt the location..so yeah the naswer is C

The formation of two or more species often (some workers think always!) requires geographical isolation of subpopulations of the species. Only then can natural selection or perhaps genetic drift produce distinctive gene pools.

So yes Isolation.
