Answer 1

C. There would be more insects than insect eating birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a food web, the number of predators are always less than the number of preys. This balances the food web, as shown in the diagram below. The number of predators increase when there are more prey, and the number of prey decrease when there are more predators.

Out of all the options, this was the only one which states that the number of the prey is higher than the number of the predator.
