Answer 2

C. Wolves eat rabbits, and the number of rabbits in an area is low.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cooperative hunting is a form of animal social behavior that is found common among predators mostly faced with a challenge of effectively finding prey to prey on easily. It involves the cooperation of a group of an animal species that cooperate together to effectively increase their chances of catching preys as well as increase their survival chances in such territories.

A scenario that would most likely result into cooperative hunting is where there are few and limited number of rabbits in an area, and as such, it is difficult to hunt rabbits due to scarcity. In order to increase their chances of catching rabbits, wolves in that area would cooperate together and hunt in packs. This will increase the number of kills they'd make when compared to hunting individually. This ensures there is availability of food to eat and also ensures their survival as a group.
