Answer:

The correct answer is option A,
2(Racoons)/(m^2)\\

Step-by-step explanation:

The Population density of any species in an ecosystem is equal to the number of that species living in one unit of area.

Therefore, population density can be represented as


(Total population )/(Total area of habitat) \\

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -


= (20)/(10) (Racoons)/(m^2)\\= 2 (Racoons)/(m^2)\\
