Question

How would the introduction of a predator species affect the stability of an

ecosystem?
A. The native prey might not be able to protect itself against the new
predator, so the prey population would probably decline rapidly.
B. The stability would not change because the new predator would
simply replace the native predator.
C. The new predator would be unable to hunt effectively for native
prey, so the stability would not change.
D. The stability of the ecosystem would increase as a result of the
introduction of a new predator species.
