Question

Which scenario would most likely result in the extinction of one or more species?

The water temperature of a pond decreases slightly, and the members of the pond populations adapt to the change.

The conditions are abnormally dry for one season in a desert, resulting in the deaths of a few members of a snake population.

A predatory fish is introduced into a lake, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the populations of smaller fish.

A new plant species begins growing in a forest, resulting in a new food resource for many animal populations.

Answer 1

A predatory fish because in all of these the species don’t go extinct or have a chance of going extinct except the predatory fish one

Answer 2

C) A predatory fish is introduced into a lake, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the populations of smaller fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other options wouldn't make sense because none of them would cause the extinction of a species. The animals would either adapt or only a few would die. If a new predatory fish were introduced into a lake that had never had it before, lots of the fish would die.
