As we have already studied in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium -

 

 

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used to estimate the frequency of alleles and genotypes in a population. This principle says that allele frequencies in a population are stable and are constant from generation to generation.  The gene pool (total genes and their alleles in a population) remains a constant which is called genetic equilibrium and the sum total of all the allelic frequencies is 1. Hence, the correct option is (d).
