Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The carrying capacity increases as the resources in the environment increases. The resources such as water, food and shelter are the main factors that increases the carrying capacity.

The population of mouses in the forest will increase because of rain which will increase the population of mouses in the forest due to more availability of resources.

Hence, the correct answer is option B. Rain in forest will increase the population of mouses.

B. Increase water supply

All those answers decrease the amount of necessities in the forest. If the water supply were to increase, then the population of mice would increase. This is because there's now enough water for more mice. :) hope this helps
