The correct statement about a bottleneck event is:
"A bottleneck event decreases the gene pool of a population."
Bottleneck events occur when a population's size is significantly reduced for at least one generation, often due to environmental events (like natural disasters) or human activities. This reduction can lead to a loss of genetic diversity, thereby decreasing the gene pool.
