Solution

The correct option is D Natural selection
Evolution is a gradual process in which organisms change over a period of time.

Limiting factors constrains the population size.

Overproduction occurs when there are more individuals than the resources available to support them.

Natural selection favours the selection of beneficial genes and thereby changes the gene frequency. Thus natural selection cause change in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Hence the correct option is
d. Natural selection

how Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is affected by gene flow or gene migration,genetic drift (changes occurring by chance),mutation,genetic recombination.natural selection

Q. Assertion: Hardy-Weinberg principle states that in the absence of disturbing influences, gene frequencies of large populations of sexually reproducing organisms do not change, provided that matings, occur at random.

Reason: The disturbing influences include mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, genetic recombination and natural selection.
