The question refers to the following description.On the volcanic, equatorial West African island of Sao Tom, two species of fruit fly exist. Drosophila yakuba inhabits the island's lowlands, and is also found on the African mainland, located about 200 miles away. At higher elevations, and only on Sao Tom, is found the very closely related Drosophila santomea. The two species can hybridize, though male hybrids are sterile. A hybrid zone exists at middle elevations, though hybrids there are greatly outnumbered by D. santomea. Studies of the two species' nuclear genomes reveal that D. yakuba on the island is more closely related to mainland D. yakuba than to D. santomea (2n = 4 in both species). Sao Tom rose from the Atlantic Ocean about 14 million years ago.If a speciation event occurred on Sao Tom, producing D. santomea from a parent colony of D. yakuba, then which terms apply?I. macroevolutionII allopatric speciationIII. sympatric speciation
