I'm not completely sure of this one but answer (e) makes the most sense to me, because they are both possibilites, inbreeding has been known to occur in many species such as the liger, and als genetic drift is known to occur

@krendon, all these are possible evolutionary forces which can act on populations. Which ones were described in the article depend on what the article was, which you haven't given us. That said, in that option e covers the most possible options, @mud116 is probably right.
