Answer:

Option A. 1440 guppies

Explanation:

In an appropriate environment, the population of breeding guppies doubles every 2 months.

Initial population of guppies = 180

after 2 months they doubles = 180 × 2 = 360

after 4 months they doubles = 360 × 2 = 720

after 6 months they doubles again = 720 × 2 = 1440

After 6 months guppies population would be 1440.
