Solution

The correct option is B hybridization
In natural populations, hybridization can act in opposition to genetic diversity or divergence. Hybridization is purposefully employed in the breeding of domesticated plants to take advantage of the desirable traits.
Genetic diversity is the variation of heritable characteristics present in a population of one species and serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments.
