Answer 1

Hi Sunshinedancer, the answer to your question is C. I say this because when prey populations decrease, it causes the predator's populations fall to a stable level. To further explain this concept, once the predator population is down some, then the prey pop. will grow and when they do, the predators will have more food and will also grow, causing the prey to fall again. This is basically like a see-saw concept.
So, your correct answer would be C.
