B) random mating within the founding population
C) no mutations within either population
D) migration between the original and founding populations
E) None of the above.

Migration between the original and founding populations would introduce new alleles from the original population to the founding population, increasing genetic variability and reducing the effect of the founder effect. Over time, this would lead to the homogenization of allelic frequencies between the original and founding populations. The other options would not necessarily lead to homogenization.
