All of the choices are necessary to maintain Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If any of these conditions are not met, the allele frequencies in the population will change over time, which means that the population is evolving. Therefore, to maintain Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, there must be no mutations, a large population, equal fitness among all genotypes, and random mating.
