Question

Transcribed Image Text:Use the graph below to answer the question
Which population description is most kely represented by the graph?
Population over Time
Time (years)
A population of mice slowly increases but then fluctuates scasonaily as
predators raise their young and limit prey populations.
OA population of wolves slowly increases becaüse of limiting factors in the
environment but then increases constantly when additional prey migrate into the
environment.
A population of birds quickly increases but then becomes stable duc to limiting
factors in the cnvironment.
DA population of moose decreases duc to compctition with bison in the
ecosystem.
