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.
