From the information provided, we do not know how much quantity each animal eats. However, what we do know is that all three animals put together can eat more two squirrels can eat.

If 1 squirrel eats x quantity, that means 2 squirrels can eat 2x quantity. Note that this implies that all three animal can eat more than 2x quantity.

Therefore, at least option A is true from the information provided. If all three animals eat more than two squirrels, we can reasonable conclude that two rabbits eat more than one squirrel

ANSWER:

The correct answer is option A
