Hi there!

A prezygotic isolating mechanism is a mechanism that causes something to happen, not allowing the organisms to breed before fertilization. I'll explain each one for you.

A - That is postzygotic because the organisms were not stopped before fertilization. The result is a sterile organism.
B - Again, that is postzygotic because the organism was produced. 
C - This is prezygotic! The sperm dying shows that something is in action to prevent fertilization, meaning that it cannot happen.
D - Fertilization was successful, so it is postzygotic.

ANSWER:
C - the sperm dies when it reaches the female tract

If you need help with any more problems, feel free to message me and I'd be more than happy to help you work through them and provide explanations.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
