Answer

C. Bottleneck Effect

Explain

The problem describes a scenario where an environmental event significantly reduces the size of a population, leading to a decrease in genetic diversity. This phenomenon is known as the Bottleneck Effect. The other options (Divergent Evolution, Parallel Evolution, and Hyonid) refer to different evolutionary processes. Divergent Evolution refers to species diverging over time from a common ancestor, Parallel Evolution involves species evolving similarly due to similar environmental pressures, and Hyonid is not a recognized biological term.
