A species of rabbit lives in a meadow where grass plants are readily available during summer months. The rabbits do not stray far from the meadow because the plants supply food and protection from predators. One summer, a fire destroys the plants in the meadow.
As a result of the absence of plants in the meadow, the rabbit population will probably
A)
decrease in size.
B)
increase and flourish.
C)
increase reproduction.
D)
switch to a different type of food.

The rabbits are dependent on the plants for survival. If the plants are removed do you think they would still survive? @Great_And_Powerful
