I am confused by this answer choice. The answer states that lumpers said species do interbreed in the wild, whereas, the passage states something completely different.

Where in the passage are you seeing that lumpers say species don't interbreed with themselves in the wild? The passage tells us that lumpers use the biological concept, which is that a species is a group that is reproductively isolated, that is, not interbreeding with other species. So, in other words a species is that set of birds that do interbreed with each other. This is exactly what the answer choice says.
