The environment that would tend to reduce genetic variation in a population because of evolution by natural selection is:
grasslands that are undergoing severe drought.
In such a harsh condition, only certain traits that allow survival in drought conditions may be favored, while individuals with other traits may die off. This can lead to a reduction in genetic variation as the population becomes more specialized for that specific challenging environment.
