Solution

The correct option is B Evolutionary agents
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that the frequencies of alleles and genotypes in a population will remain constant from generation to generation assuming a large population size with no evolutionary influence including mutation, genetic drift, natural selection and gene flow between populations. Thus, the correct answer is ‘Evolutionary agents.’
