    Mutations
  • B
    Non-random mating
  • C
    Genetic drift
  • D

Answer

  1. All of the above

Explanation:

The conditions to maintain the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are no mutation, no gene flow, large population size, random mating, and no natural selection.

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is disturbed by deviation from any of its five conditions.

Hence, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can be disturbed by Mutations, Non-random mating and Genetic drift.

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
