In this ecosystem diagram, pollution and human activities have led to a decrease in the number of eagles. a sudden viral attack on rabbits has led to a decrease in the population of rabbits in the ecosystem. based on these changes, which two of the following predictions are scientifically sound?

We need to see the predator relationships that exist in the system but also the competition for various food sources. The fact that eagles  decrease, means that their direct prey, snakes will increase in numbers; similarly, the grass will increase for a while; but rabbit were competing with gnats for the grass. Now that rabbits are gone, the gnats will proliferate. Now, knowing that, we can eliminate answer choices b, c, d, so we are technically done. To verify e), notice now that the snakes that are preying on frogs will increase in numbers; thus the frogs will decrease.

A) it will stay on the table
