The correct answer is: Two taxonomic species
Species is a group of similar individuals which produces offspring's that are fertile and capable of interbreeding.

Theodosius Dobzhansky gave the biological species concept defined as "a species as a group of individuals living in one or more populations that can potentially interbreed to produce healthy, fertile offspring."

Species sharing correlated morphological characters will not be considered as a biological species since they cannot produce fertile offsprings.

A natural taxon having pattern/morphological characters shared by all members of the group is considered as taxonomic species.
