If two eukaryotes participate in lateral gene transfer what will this do to the overall genetic variation of species

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A) nothing, the genetic variation will stay the same

B) the genetic variation will decrease

C) the genetic variation will increase

D) this type of gene transfer is impossible in eukaryotes

I believe the correct answer is option C. If two eukaryotes participate in lateral gene transfer, then the genetic variation will increase. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
