According to biological species, concept members of a species are morphologically similar and can potentially interbreed with each other but are reproductively isolated with other species.
They usually occupy the same habitat as reproductive isolation results in the evolution of species adapting for a particular habitat.
Hence, statements given in options A, B and C are correct while the statement given in option D is incorrect.
So, the correct option is 'Members of a species cannot interbreed with members of other species.'
