Answer 2

The correct answer is option C. more food is available as grain is harvested.

The harvesting of the grains in the farming area result in the increase in the grain (food) availability for the rodents such as mice. Due to availability of the food, the mice have a benefit for survival. So, many mice would be seen as they come out for eating and they would be able to reproduce more.
