3.Offspring often have health problems and are sterile.

Hybridization is the process of reproducing organisms of different varieties or species to create a hybrid. We can understand by hybrid the bred by mating two species, normally from within the same genus. The offspring show traits and features of both parents. It is very often are sterile, this hybrid sterility avoids the movement of genes from one species to the other, keeping both species separate. So, option 3 is the right one.
