Solution

The correct option is A Bottle neck effect
When there is some natural calamity or disaster, this results in the loss of many people or organisms of the same species. There are fewer organisms that have survived and there are fewer genetic variations which affect the gene frequency of the population. This is known as the bottleneck effect. This a disruptive form of selection, when there is production of more than one phenotype in the population. Since the gene frequency is affected there are different phenotype produced.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
