D. a founder effect because their ancestors from Europe carried the alleles.From one generation to the next, the frequency of alleles (genetic variations) will remain constant.

<h3>What does a population need to do to achieve Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?</h3>

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, if favorable influences exist, genetic variation in a population will remain stable from one generation to the next.

<h3>What causes population genetic drift?</h3>

Genetic drift is a random process that can produce significant population changes rapidly . Recurringly small population sizes, drastic population size reductions known as "bottlenecks," and founder events, in which a new population is created from a small number of people, all contribute to random drift.
