A condom is an example of a mechanical reproductive barrier.
Compound Machine
the difference between a mechanical and non-mechanical system is that non-mechanial systems is a procedure/process designed to perform a task along with people involved (example, the school system is a non-mechanical system because it involes students, teachers, desk, textbooks etc)a mechanical system is group of physical parts that interact with each other and function as a whole in order to finish the task (example, the TTC system involes the buses, subways, etc)
For flexibility or movement. For example most of our bodies joints have a mechanical disadvantage for the simple reason we gain range of motion and flexibility.
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.

a prezygotic barrier
the correct answer is:A. hybrid sterility
postzygotic barrier
Physical/Mechanical barrier
The Postzygotic Barrier prevents animals of different species from producing fertile offspring. This barrier is a mechanism of reproductive isolation.
The largest organ in the human body, our skin, is effectually, an excellent mechanical barrier. There are of course, some chemical and bacterial (normal flora) factors that play a part, but its mechanical function is its largest asset for sure. A break in the integrity of this mechanical barrier (i.e. an abrasion, laceration, puncture, incision, etc) provides an open door and an excellent opportunity for foreign bacteria and viruses to invade and potentially infect the host.
a post-zygotic barrier
Hybid sterility would be a barrier to postzygotic reproduction. This means that the hybid is sterile. Hybid breakdown and inviability are also barriers.
skins
There are two types: prezygotic and postzygotic. Prezygotic barriers prevent mating from even happening. If mating does occur, postzygotic barriers reduce the chances that an offspring will survive before being born. One prezygotic reproductive barrier is mechanical isolation.

A barrier method means there is a physical device to prevent sperm from entering the woman's reproductive tract.Birth Control Pills, IUD, sterilization, withdrawal, rhythm, are not barrier methods.Male or female condom, sponge, cervical cap, diaphragm are all barrier methods.
