Answer 1

Answer: a new predators are introduced to control a pest population.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is a biotic community in which the living beings interact with their non-living physical environment and among themselves so as to sustain their lives.

Among the options given the ecosystem is most likely to return to its' original condition after pest infestation when new predators are introduce to control these pests. The ecosystem will come back to the stable state after the pests are irradicated.

Answer 2

This is when new predators are introduced to control a pest population. This is because pests when they attack an ecosystem, they degrade it by feeding on available food for other biodiversity. Also, these pests do attack some crop yields leading to low production. Therefore when new predators are introduced, they will reduce these pests leading to regaining of the original state of the ecosystem.
