The correct response is:
**multiple bottleneck events**
Cheetah populations have experienced multiple bottleneck events in their evolutionary history, leading to a reduced genetic diversity and a small gene pool today. These bottleneck events can occur due to factors such as habitat loss, hunting, and population declines.
