Answer

Brief Explanations:

When two groups of the same species are isolated due to a geographical barrier (like the river - course change here), over time, due to different environmental pressures and random genetic mutations, they may diverge genetically. This can lead to speciation. Endemic species are native to a particular area, but there's no indication one group will be restricted to a small area like that. Invasive species are non - native and cause harm, which isn't applicable here. They are already native, so becoming native isn't a likely new development. Emigration isn't the most likely long - term outcome compared to genetic divergence.

Answer:

the groups will probably diverge genetically, and speciation may occur
