What? I don’t understand what you are asking.....
Answer:
The most appropriate answer would be D. The western skink population would be separated into two groups, and genetic diversity would decline in each group.
It can be explained with the help of a bottleneck effect due to which population size decreases suddenly due to events like a natural disaster, habitat destruction et cetera.
The construction of the multi-lane highway would have destroyed the natural habitat of western skinks and separate them into two populations.
The separation of a population along with the destruction of habitat would result in a severe decrease in the population size of western skinks.
Consequently, the genetic diversity would also decrease.
