MY LAST QUESTION PLEASE HELP I WILL RATE HIGH IF CORRECT THANK U SM!

In the Galapagos islands, larger iguanas are more successful at reproducing and have more offspring. How would the population change if larger body size also makes iguanas more vulnerable to predatory birds?

The population would be more balanced between small, medium, and large body sizes because while larger iguanas reproduce more, smaller iguanas avoid predators better.
There would be more small iguanas because every large iguana would be eaten.
There would be more large iguanas because being vulnerable to predators would not affect the next generation.
All iguanas would be medium sized, and there would be no variation in body size in the new generations

The first answer because the larger could reproduce and small could hide better.

Answer:

Option A is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

How would the population change if larger body size also makes iguanas more vulnerable to predatory birds?

The population would be more balanced between small, medium, and large body sizes because while larger iguanas reproduce more, smaller iguanas avoid predators better.

Larger grown up iguanas reproduce and produce off springs while smaller ones are quicker and can hide in small burrows or smaller places, so they can avoid predators in a better way.
