C.) observation

D.) interacting

Answer:

B. Inference

Step-by-step explanation:

Inference is a logical conclusion that is arrived at, judging from the facts and and evidence we already know and see.

In the case above, a decrease in rabbit population and explosive of the population of the coyote are premises that the biologist basses his logical conclusion on, stating that, the population of coyote has a negative impact on rabbit population. This could also be termed "an educated guess".
