Answer
A
mutation
B
gene flow
C
genetic drift
D
natural selection

Explanation

When a zebra joins a different herd, it moves between populations and may reproduce there. This can transfer its alleles to that herd, which is gene flow. Mutation creates new genetic variants, while genetic drift is random change in allele frequencies and natural selection favors traits that improve survival or reproduction.
