Answer:

The correct answer is D.) genetic drift

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic drift refers to a population's unpredictable oscillations in the number of gene variants. When the occurrence of various forms of a gene, known as alleles, increases and decreases by chance over time, this is known as genetic drift. The changes in allele frequencies are used to measure these differences in allele presence. I hope this helps! ^-^
