Solution

The correct option is B Population genetics
The study of genetic variation within the population and examination of changes in the frequencies of genes and alleles in the population over space and time is called as population genetics. Many of the genes found within a population occur in different forms (alleles) called polymorphic. The collection of all the alleles of all the genes within population forms gene pool of population. Thus, the correct answer is ‘Population genetics.’
