    Genetic drift does NOT create greater diversity within a population. Its effect is the opposite of it. Because of the infrequency of an allele, the allele may be lost in the population or only appear rarely in a specific locus in a population. This will then result in a loss of variance to the population.

    The answer then will be letter A.
