Answer: the correct answer is d. none of the above.

Explanation:

Inbreeding depression is the reduced biological fitness in a given population as a result of inbreeding, or breeding of related individuals. In general, the higher the genetic variation or gene pool within a breeding population, the less likely it is to suffer from inbreeding depression.
