Question

Using the figure and table below, answer the following questions to help you determine the factor that might be contributing to the difference in African wild dog populations in the different regions. Minimum required area for various wild dog pack sizes at four different regions in South AfricaAnswer choices A) The line for the Pilanesburg region has the largest slope indicating that a much larger area would be required to support a large wild dog pack compared to the other regions.B) The slope of the lines for Eastern and Northern SA are both the smallest indicating that they require a much larger area to support large wild dog packs.C) The slope of the lines for Pilanesburg is larger than the slope of the line for Northeastern SA indicating that Pilanesburg can support larger wild dog populations than the Northeastern region.D) The slope of the lines for Eastern and Northern SA are both the largest indicating that they do not require a much larger area to support large wild dog packs.

Answer 1

If we look at the graphic, we can see that in Pilanesberg a much bigger area is needed per individual, and this difference grows bigger when the pack size increases.

This means A is the correct answer.
