A recent study has shown an increase in the number of predators in an ecosystem. Which of the following is a possible cause for the growth?a. A decrease in the population of prey it feeds on.
b. An increase in the population of prey it feeds on
c. A decrease in the biodiversity of the ecosystem
d. An increase in the number of predators that feed on it

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: b. An increase in the population of prey it feeds on.

Explanation:

A predator is a kind of organism which kills the other organisms so as to obtain them as food. The organism which is killed is called as prey.
