Which statement explains how a stable ecosystem can exist evenwhile the populations within it fluctuate?A. If a prey population grows, it will force the predatorpopulation to grow too, which means the ecosystem willkeep supporting larger populations.B. If a disease spreads through a population with littlegenetic variation, all of the organisms will die.O c. If individuals in a population cannot find shelter, they willuse new abiotic factors for shelter so the population canstay the same size.D. Less rain one year may lead to smaller populations due toa lack of food, but the next year, the populations canrecover.



Answer :

"A" would be the correct answer. The ecosytem stays stable with the number of prey increasing and the number of predators increasing in response. Even though the populations are changing they are still kept in balance with each other that allows for the ecosystem to stay in balance.

Too many predators would decrease the prey number and to many prey organism without increase in predaotrs would have other impacts to the ecosytem.
