The table shows moose populations in Bullwinkle National Park, over a 35 year period. What could have been responsible for the decrease in the moose population in 1990?

Ba decrease in hunting
Ca decrease in predatory animals
Dan increase in the amount of food

Verified Answer :

the Answer would most likely be A. The reason for that is because if there is a decrease in hunting the population would grow as long with the surplus of food. If there is no animals hunting them for food then the population would grow. So the first one is only the one that would kill them off.

Answer:

A) a disease epidemic

Explanation:

The table shows that the population size of moose has reduced over the period of 35 years. Reduced hunting, a decrease in population of predators and increased availability of resources such as food are the factors that lead to increase in population size. However, any epidemic disease would kill the individuals and would reduce the population size.
