The correct answer is: C.Founder effect.

Explanation:

The Founder effect occurs when a small group of individuals leaves a larger population to start a new colony, often in a new location. Since the new population is established by only a few individuals, the genetic diversity of this new population is often much lower than that of the original population. The allele frequencies in the new colony may be different simply due to the limited genetic variation of the founders.

The other options are incorrect in this context:

A.Bottleneck effect: This refers to a ...
