C) Family and population size
D) Gene flow between geographically separated populations

Answer 1

E) All of the options are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people who are actively involved in producing the next generation determines the effective size of the population. Generally speaking, the effective population size is slightly less than the scale of the census. The size of populations greatly influences evolutionary processes. Effective Population Size is denoted by the sign 'Ne" and it depends on all the above-mentioned options.
