A student created the data table below using a computer simulation of coal consumption and a human population. What do the data from the simulation
illustrate about the relationship between the management of coal resources and human populations?

A. conservation cannot make coal resources last longer for a population.

B. conservation can extend how long coal resources are available to a population.

C. conservation can make coal a renewable resource for a population.

D. conservation of coal resources can slow the rate of population growth.

B

Explanation:

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.  

the answer is b. glad to .
