Many organisms depend on the land as a food source. Seasons can affect the amount of food that is available to these organisms. How would a long, cold winter most likely affect a population of deer?

The deer population will decrease.
The deer population will increase.
---The deer population will remain almost the same.
--- The deer population will rebound the next year.

*NOTE: you can only pick one answer, but the two with the arrows are my two best guesses.*
