Answer: Option C.

5 frogs per squared meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density is the total number of organisms per unit area.

It is calculated as Population ÷ unit area.

The population of the frog = 650

The unit area = 130 square meter.

650÷130= 5.

The answer is 5 frogs per square meter.

Square meter can be used for small space or small area.
