Answer:

d) genetic drift

Step-by-step explanation:

The ABO and MN blood-type frequencies of the Dunkers differ significantly from those of current American and German populations due to Genetic Drift. This term refers to variation in the relative frequency of the different genotypes that may exist within a small population, which results in the extinction of different genes as individuals die without reproducing.
