Answer:

its natural selection C

Step-by-step explanation:

gene flow is when genes from one population move to another. Above answer is wrong. Mutation would be when one individual mutates, but the question states that multiple individuals survived. Do you think that the EXACT same mutation happened in multiple people? I don't think so. Therefore, it must be C.
