Question

The snake population in this ecosystem has changed from 1000 snakes to 70,000 snakes over the last several years. What is DEFINITELY true?

(1 Point)
The mice have stopped hunting the snakes.
The mice population has increased.
There are more snake births than deaths.
The snakes have found a new food source.

Answer 1

Answer: There are more snake births than deaths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the phrasing of the prompt, especially the articulation in "DEFINITELY," I believe the aforementioned answer to be the most likely among the given options. As I understand, other options are quite possible, however, are not inherent to the given occurrence. For a population to increase, the input (births) to that quantity must exceed it's output (deaths).

I hope this helps, my friend. God bless.
