The correct option is this: Males of one species perform orchestrated dances and sing songs that only attract females of the same species.

Ecological isolation refers to the sexual practice among living organisms, in which populations of living organisms occupy the same ecology or region but live in different habitats and refrain from inter species sexual relationships. There are five types of isolation, these are: ecological, temporal, mechanical, behavioral and geographical isolation.

Behavioral isolation is said to occur when two allopatric species living in the same territory refraining from inter breeding as a result of differences in courtship behaviors.
