HELP ASAP PLEASEEEE

In a population of cats, a gene that controls an observable trait has several different alleles. Which of the following best explains how genetic drift might affect the genetic makeup of this cat population over time?

It is a directed process, so it might cause an increase in the gene pool's allele frequencies.
It is a nonselective process, so it might cause an allele to disappear from the gene pool by chance.
It is a random process, so it might cause a population to reach genetic equilibrium.
It is a selective process, so it might cause an increase in the population's genetic variation.
