Biological species concept:
Defines a species as part of a population that actually and/or potentially interbreed in nature producing viable offspring.
so that means that it cannot be applied to organisms that reproduce assexually such as bacteria (A) as they do not need another organism for fertilisation to reproduce.
For the second question:
i would answer (E) hybrid inviability (which is where the offspring cannot live to become a fit healthly adult, due to the conflicting genes of its parents interfering with the embroy's development)
Hope this helps =)
