In the western United States, pronghorn antelopes and domestic cattle often associate with one another in the same open rangeland. In a hypothetical situation, a certain species of flea originally fed only on pronghorn antelopes. Some of these fleas developed a strong preference for cattle blood and mated only with other fleas that also preferred cattle blood. The host mammal can be considered as the fleas' habitat. Which of the following processes most likely occurred if the situation persisted and a new species evolved?
A) sympatric speciation and habitat isolation B) sympatric speciation and temporal isolation C) allopatric speciation and habitat isolation D) allopatric speciation and gametic isolation
