Answer:

C. inbreeding

Explanation:

Inbreeding is mating between the individuals which are closely related. Because of inbreeding, heterozygosity is reduced while homozygosity is increased in a population. Because of inbreeding a deleterious or recessive trait becomes more popular in a population. This condition is also known as inbreeding depression. Since the two individuals are closely related so their lineage also remains the same.
