Question
What happens when the members of the same genus but different species interbreed?

B .  The offspring is infertile 
C .  The offspring cannot produce more animals of its own kind but can breed with others of the same genus
D .  The offspring lacks the characteristics of both the species
Answer: Option B
:
B
When members belonging to the same genus, but different species interbreed, they could produce a sterile/infertile offspring. The most well-known example is that of the mule, which is the product of a cross between a male donkey and a female horse. These belong to the same genus Equus, but different species.
