The correct option is B individuals mate selectively

The Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. A population will not exist in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium if individuals mate selectively.
