The situation that also has a total change of 0 is (a) I put 5 pounds of birdseed in the feeder. Then, birds ate 5 pounds of birdseed.

Which situation also has a total change of 0?

The description of Earnest's yard situation

Also, we have the list of options

Analyzing the options, we have:

(a) I put 5 pounds of birdseed in the feeder. Then, birds ate 5 pounds of birdseed.

This implies that

Change = 5 pounds put in the feeded - 5 pounds ate by the birdseed

Evaluate

Change = 0

Hence, the situation that also has a total change of 0 is (a)
