1. Syntype: It refers to two or more specimens collected by the author simultaneously of the same species.
2. Isotype: It is a duplicate of the holotype collected and can be used for studies when holotype is not accessible.
3. Neotype: It refers to the new specimen collected when the original material is missing.
So, the correct option is 'Isotype'.
